Book Summary: Meet Me at the Lake

Fern Brookbanks has spent an inordinate amount of her adult life reflecting on her fleeting encounter with Will Baxter. During her early twenties, a serendipitous meeting with the charming and idealistic artist led to a whirlwind day of exploration in Toronto. Although the timing was far from ideal, their chemistry proved inescapable; they exchanged secrets and aspirations, culminating in a pact to reunite one year later. Fern kept her promise, but Will did not.

Now, at the age of thirty-two, Fern finds her life has diverged significantly from her youthful dreams. Instead of thriving in the vibrant city, she has returned to her childhood home to manage her mother’s Muskoka lakeside resort—a role she swore she would never assume. The resort is in disarray, and to complicate matters, her ex-boyfriend serves as the current manager, leaving Fern feeling lost and overwhelmed.

In desperate need of a strategy—a lifeline—Fern is taken aback when Will reappears, nearly a decade late, with a suitcase in hand and an offer of assistance. He may be the only individual capable of truly understanding the challenges she faces. However, Fern grapples with the difficulty of trusting this well-dressed stranger, who bears little resemblance to the passionate young man she once knew. There are secrets lurking beneath Will’s polished exterior, and Fern is uncertain if she desires to uncover them.

Yet, a decade earlier, Will Baxter had been Fern’s savior. Now, the question remains: can she reciprocate and become his?
