Publisher's summary

Alex Foster's life is exactly as she wants it. She's quit her job as an English teacher and has decided to hole up in her newly acquired lake house for the summer to try her hand at writing a novel. She has close friends; she has her dog; she plays volleyball. She is content.

Jennifer Wainwright is a wealthy young suburbanite whose life is exactly as she expected it would be. She's married to her high school sweetheart, who is about to inherit his father's law firm. She has friends. And she has the whole summer to work on decorating the new house on the lake she and her husband have just purchased as their summer home. She is content.

A chance meeting over a runaway pooch is the start of a journey for each woman. Over the course of one unbelievable summer set on the beautiful shores of Canandaigua Lake in Upstate New York, these two women will teach one another, learn from one another, question their own beliefs and expectations, and unwittingly fall in love.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This is based on a common theme, straight woman hiding a lesbian desire. Narration was good and the story flowed nicely. The characters were fitting for their parts. I listened to this one straight through with no regrets. The only downside for me was to how homophobic someone’s family (mothers) can be towards one of their grown children. Very sad.

I would recommend use of a credit.

Siked for this audiobook

I’ve loved this book for so many years. Identify with Alex and sympathize for Jennifer. I’ve been checking audible every year until I found it. Amazing narration Lula.

Throughly Enjoyed a Second Time

Years ago I read this book and was looking forward to the audiobook. Wasn’t disappointed! Lulu Larkin is fast becoming one of my favorite narrators. This is a fantastic book with lovely characters and engaging dialogue.

Miss Beers does it again!

I don't think I've ever read a Georgia Beers book and been disappointed. This was another good one. I liked the characters a lot. And to me, it felt like you could really sense the chemistry between them almost immediately. The narrator was great at keeping the voices separate to each of them. You never really got lost on who was speaking except when there was a quick pov switch in a chapter but you were quickly brought back into whom was speaking. Overall, I really like this one and will definitely be listening to it again in the future.

Lovely Story!

This was a sweet, lovely story! The two MCs easily had great chemistry together. The narrator was also very good. Loved the dog!

Somewhat disappointed

It was disappointing Jennifer wasn’t the one who ended her marriage and seemingly would’ve stayed with her husband if he hadn’t have been the one to do so. All the moments where she could’ve stood up for herself and relationship she never really did; she just stood there in silence. Her character never truly developed.

A good listen 🎶

I was very intrigued by the title and the story as a whole.. I just wish there was a little more development of the relationship between the two women. It took me a minute to get used to the narrators voice because it seems I am now an Abby Craden snob and anyone but her just won't do..lol. But the narrator did grow on me and portrayed the characters very well.
