I got an advanced copy of this book and was happy I did. Another great one by Sarah Dessen. (This is the third book of hers I've read).
I loved discovering Emma/Saylor's mom's side of the family along with the main character herself. The lake was also the perfect setting for the story. I don't think the story would have worked with a different setting. The pace of the book was also good. I loved discovering the small changes in Emma as she became more whole after knowing her mom's side of the family.
Emma's father seemed a bit strict, but I later understood why he was like that. My other favorite characters were cousin Bailey and Roo (besides the main character).
If you're a fan of Sarah Dessen, YA Romance, summer, or lake setting stories, you HAVE to get this one!
