![]() ![]() I would love to spend a summer at Lost Lake watching Selma work her magic with the men, Devin run around in her tutu and cowboy boots, Bulahdeen planning parties, and Eby taking care of everyone. ![]() The author has created a story with wonderfully rich characters. She becomes reacquainted with Wes, the boy she met when she visited the resort when she was 12. At the resort Kate meets an interesting group of people and learns a few things about her family. When she arrives at Eby’s resort, she learns that her aunt has agreed to sell Lost Lake. Kate feels drawn to Lost Lake and decides to take her daughter and go right away. Kate’s daughter, Devin, finds a postcard just before they are supposed to leave from Kate’s great aunt Eby, the owner of Lost Lake. The day that Kate is waking up is in fact also the day that she is scheduled to move into her mother in law’s house. She basically shut down when her husband was killed and has allowed her mother in law, Cricket to take over. Kate is not waking up from a night of sleep but from a year of extreme grief. ![]() Instead, I found this book to be one of hope. Grief plays a major role in this book but this is not a sad book. ![]() Sarah Addison Allen definitely knows how to tell a compelling story weaving the past, the present, and a little bit of magic. Press and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review. I received an advance reader edition of this book from St. ![]()
