I wasn't expecting much from this book (and, to be perfectly honest, I was in agony with a bulging disk so I wasn't expecting much from anything!). But . . . surprise! I really enjoyed the story. I thought I would be getting a love story to take me away from my pain, but I got something much more - a tale of past and present with some catches that I didn't see coming. A teenage passion that wouldn't die?? A history that made sense at the time, but didn't pan out? This is more than a beach read, in my opinion. I'm going to recommend it to my bookclub. We'll see what they think . . . . When Jess spends the summer in her late grandmother's rambling Victorian summer cottage, she uncovers heart-rending mysteries and lost love. It has been seventeen years since Jess has last visited the elite lakefront summer club where she had spent the summers of her youth. Now, she returns with her photographer boyfriend who wants to write an article about the distinctive old house. Sifting through old letters and pictures she finds in a hidden trunk, Jess unravels long-hidden family secrets.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this book but ended up really enjoying it. Great summer read!
