Here's a light-chick-lit type read that is reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks in terms of style and story. It's an average and enjoyable book, but it lacks a wow-factor. It's a story filled with family secrets, relationships, and the idea of starting over or starting again when life deals you a bad hand. I greatly enjoyed the Canadian setting. I've never been to Gananoque or the Thousand Islands, but it made for a great setting and I could picture Summer Inn on the St. Lawrence River well. Even though the setting could have been detailed more deeply, I would say this is a strong point of the book and will help it appeal to Canadian readers of this genre-type. I also enjoyed how Stapley included a list of rainy day activities at the start of each chapter. This gave the book a unique flavour and also grounded the story and the setting effectively. At 250 pages, it’s a short, but compelling story.
