Thank you NetGalley and St Martins Press for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This was a really sweet and heartfelt lake side romance about a former YouTube nature/fishing content creator and a single dad (who is also her brother's best friend). I always enjoy book set in a lake town but I appreciated how much the lake and the surrounding nature were incorporated into the story. I want to visit this lake so badly! 

This book was really real in the challenges the two main characters faced. But also in how they chose to tackle those challenges together. I especially loved how the MCs were communicative and honest with one another, no third act break up here! Their ability to navigate their challenges with their family (particularly their siblings and ex-wives) were refreshing. Joe the MMC was particularly great about supporting and not speaking for Maren, the FMC. The side characters and the banter the MCs had with them were amazing. 

Overall, a great read! Can't wait to go back and read the other books in the universe about her two friends.
