Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
3.0
emotional lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

 I liked it but I know it's a forgettable light read. It also took me a long time to read because there was about a week in July where I didn't want to pick it up at all. This is definitely a summer romance so I am glad I read it in this season.

I appreciated the themes of grief and anxiety. I also could related to Fern in being a motherless-daughter. I didn't feel too connected to the characters but I hope Will and Fern live in fictional bliss!

From Novelist:
Themes: Coping with death, Together again
Storyline: Intricately plotted
Mood: Feel-good, moving
Style: Witty, Evocative, Fast-paced
