Anna-Marie McLemore is an incredibly talented writer! I’ve read a few of their books without knowing they were by the same author and will definitely read more books by them in the future.
Lakelore is a beautifully written story about two teenagers with lovable characters handing their pasts, realistic teen dialogue (which is often rare in other books!), and a touch of fantasy. To me, Lakelore is a must read! I read it in 2 days despite being a slow reader because it’s just that good. I don’t know how I didn’t know about it until recently and will be telling everyone I know about it.
The author’s note and acknowledgements made me tear up in the best way. Writing this book was clearly an act of love.
