Description: From number one New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen comes a big-hearted novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasn't seen since she was a little girl - and falls in love, all over the course of a magical summer. Emma Saylor doesn't remember a lot about her mother, who died when she was ten. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever. Now it's just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable. until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother's family - her grandmother and cousins she hasn't seen since she was a little girl. When Emma arrives at the Lake, and spends more time with her mother's side of the family, she starts to feel like she is two different people. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her. Then there's Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family's history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It's hard not to get caught up in the magic of the Lake - and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo's spell as well. But when it's finally time to go back home, which side of Emma Saylor will win?.

Review: I’m 24 now and I remember reading Sarah Dessen books since I was about 12. She really understands how to write stories with young people, and how to make people of all ages care about it. I’m so glad we all get to keep reading Sarah Dessen books. I once stated I’ll never stop reading YA and as long as Sarah keeps writing I know that’s true

Review: I love Sarah Dessen's books. Been reading them for years. But this one kind of missed the mark. Our heroine, Emma Saylor didn't have the perfect childhood. She knew next to nothing about her mom and her life. She only remembered the stories she'd tell her. The ones about a lake. Fate has it, Emma Saylor has the opportunity of learning more about her mom when she has to go and stay with her grandmother and her mom's side of the family, at the lake. It was supposed to be for three weeks and it wasn't supposed to mean anything. But Emma Saylor fell in love with the lake and she got to know the people, her family, and more about her mom - and dad - than she ever thought she would. Not all of it was pretty - some parts were actually sad - but she took it well. Now the problem wasn't with the plot itself - though it did feel like it was kind of dragged out. I had issues with Emma's dad. To be honest, I thought he was being a bit of a hypocrite. I don't want to say why, I don't want to possibly spoil it for anyone interested in reading, but I was not a fan of his and really would have liked him to simply fade into the background. The other characters were pretty great. Still, something from the story was missing. Can't put my finger on it, but I know it wasn't there. 3 stars.
