Overview
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen comes a big-hearted, sweeping novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasnāt seen since she was a little girlāand falls in love, all over the course of a magical summer.
Emma Saylor doesnāt remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.
Now itās just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictableā¦until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her motherās family that she hasnāt seen since she was a little girl.
When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her.
Then thereās Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her familyās history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. Itās hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lakeāand Saylor finds herself falling under Rooās spell as well.
For Saylor, itās like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when itās time to go back home, which side of herāEmma or Saylorāwill win out?
