This author has become popular, so I wanted to try one of her books and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything memorable either.

This was a lovely lakeside story. I felt like I wanted to hear more about the resort and less about Will. Although we did eventually find out his motivations I felt like they were too late for me to feel connected to him.

O.M.G y'all, I loved this book. I haven't read Carley Fortune before and now I want to go back and read her debut novel as well. This book had me hooked from the beginning. I loved that they spent one perfect day together and neither one of them ever forgot it. This book actually made me cry! It ripped me apart and put me back together. Fern and Will Forever! I also loved the side characters. Everyone should read this immediately, I 100% recommend this book.

Christmas came a little early this year, it came in the form of a #berkleypub approval for my most sought after book of the year.

Drumroll please….

Meet Me At the Lake

I know, my jaw was on the floor too. After you pick yours on up, come meet me in the margins.

Meet Me At The Lake was pure magic and Carley Fortune, the magician.

I read psychological thrillers. Every now and again I want to cleanse my palette with a RomCom but never a romance, who am I? I’m a Carley Fortune fan, that’s who. If you hand me a phone book and told me Fortune wrote it, I would read it . Fortune has pushed me out of my comfort zone and has me head over heels in love with her writing style.

Carley Fortune blew us away with her debut, Every Summer After. After concluding, I never thought I would ever find a book that could ever surpass the pure feelings of love that emulated my body while reading Every Summer After, until I found Meet Me At the Lake.

After meeting Fern and Will you can’t help but root for them. The instant chemistry that develops between these two is something so rare and special you can’t help but stare on from the corner in the room. Yes, that’s what it felt like reading along with their story, I felt like I was right there witnessing it unfold right before my eyes.

The Dirty Dancing references had me plagued with nostalgia ! I was completely consumed and over the moon in love with every word that glittered across my screen . I couldn’t get enough . I’m not sure I’ll ever get over this book, or that I would ever want to .

For now, I will sit here with my thoughts and try to piece back parts of my heart …

I don’t need to tell you what to do, it goes without saying… Pre-Order the book.
