Goodreads: They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.

Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.

For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.

When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.

Ope’s Opinion: This started out to be one of my favorite books. I loved the friendship between Percy and Sam, I liked their innocences – it just felt fresh and clean and wholesome. As the book progress the foul language became an issue for me – place where it did not seem to fit and too often. The sexual scenes became more frequent and more detailed. I did not care for that either. It was still a four because the basis of the story was one I enjoyed.

The book was written in past and current time. It is well labeled and the story line had a nice flow to it. The ending was a good one. It had a really cute part that had to do with the beginning of the friendship between Sam and Percy ( don’t want to spoil it ).
