Basically, this book was so very Dessen- containing all the things a Dessen book contains (beach/lake, frustrating parents, family/found family, super nice boy, main girl dealing with a loss). I don’t think Emma/Saylor is going to make my list of fave Dessen characters— we just didn’t click, and the ending felt rushed, but overall this was a book that felt so familiar it was like home. ( ) I love the family aspect. I miss so much of that in my own life. The romance was exactly perfect, the amount I want in every single book. The overarching family theme brought plot and was lovely, and I enjoyed how the ultimate conflict brought so much suspense. It's been a while since I read a Dessen but this one definitely stands out. I have never read Sara‘s books before. I really enjoyed this story. The story of Emma Saylor and her self discovery. Self-discovery in the sense of learning about another side of the family she didn’t even know. Coming to terms with her mother and learning why she was the way she was. Learning that it was OK to let go of the past while learning about the past. Connecting with those who were an important part of her past and learning how she fits in with the side of the family. I would love to see if there was a future book about Emma and what happens with the rest of the family. Emma is supposed to stay with her best friend for the summer while her dad (newly remarried) goes on his honeymoon. But due to a family emergency, she gets shipped off to stay in a tourist town on the lake with a grandmother she hasn’t seen since she was four. Loved the detailed descriptions of summer, the us versus them tension of the working-class kids versus the rich vacationers, and the feels as Emma tries to discover more about her roots. Great beach read. Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Dessen comes a big-hearted, sweeping novel about a girl who reconnects with a part of her family she hasn't seen since she was a little girlâ??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 Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges. 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 that she hasn't seen since she was a little girl. When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two 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 North Lakeâ??and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo's spell as well. For Saylor, it's like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it's time to go back home, which side of herâ??Emma or Saylorâ??will w Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
