Not me unexpectedly bawling at the last paragraph of the 
epilogue! The story got better and better for me as it went on, and the epilogue brought everything together in such a poignant, beautiful way. This book touched on so many more topics than I had anticipated, and I really enjoyed how Carley Fortune featured reflections on familial and platonic love in addition to the main romantic love story. Looking forward to reading more from this author!

I'm happy to say that I enjoyed this a great deal.  As for the romance, it was steamy but well developed and believable.  The dual timeline was done well and definitely necessary for the story.  The connections between  past and present were revealed at a good pace.  This has Dirty Dancing references due to the lake resort setting, which I thought was lovely and nostalgic.  There are really no complaints here except for the 3rd act relationship drama was a bit underwhelming.  It was fitting, though, because it wasn't a major rift; that wouldn't have been believable because the characters were already so invested in each other.  Similar vibes to Every Summer After with just a touch less suspense, so if you enjoyed that, I'd recommend this.
