Description
Katie never stops moving - constantly changing her address, her boyfriends, her life. But every June, for a month, she goes back to Maine. To the old lake house her family calls Paradise.
But one day Katie wakes up in a hospital bed in Maine, with no memory of the last eighteen months. From her current boyfriend to the global pandemic, Katie is lost. And everything at Paradise has changed, too... including her best friend in the world, Nic.
Nic puts down deep roots. She still lives in the house where she grew up. She's the memory keeper of her family. And she's been in love with her best friend Katie for almost her entire life. Now Katie's claiming not to remember the night that destroyed their friendship forever. Is her amnesia real? Or does she just want to forget?
And how can either of them move on, if only one of them remembers the truth?

Two childhood friends, two different future plans.
Beautiful story of friendship and life hurdles and overcoming them with the help of friends and family. I throughly enjoyed this book, it was a first read from this author and iv found a new favourite. I also adore the book cover 😍
Paradise is an emotional story about exploring feelings, innermost thoughts, family, and friendships. This is beautifully written and dives deep into the human psyche.
Katie and Nicole, friends since childhood, have hit a snag in their friendship. They both want different things for their future, leaving them and their friendship at an impasse. With the help of their family and friends, they try to navigate the bumpy path that leads them back to each other.
I really loved everything about this book. The characters and the emotions were so raw and real. You could feel both girls' pain and confusion. I loved the loyalty of both family and friends and how they were there for each other. I absolutely loved the Maine setting, and the cover of the book is so beautiful! I devoured this in one sitting and highly recommend it!
