When Kendra Brennan moves into her grandfather's old cabin on Hidden Lake, she has a problem and a plan. The problem? An inflammatory letter from A Very Disappointed Reader that's keeping her from writing her next novel as long as its claims go unanswered. The plan? To confront Tyler, her childhood best friend's brother - and the man who inspired the antagonist in her first book - in order to prove to herself that she told the truth as all good novelists should.

What she discovers as she delves into the murky past is not what she expected. Facing Tyler isn't easy, but facing the consequences of her failed friendship with his sister, Cami, may be the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

Award-winning novelist Erin Bartels searches the heart with this lyrical exploration of how a friendship dies, how we can face the unforgivable, and how even those who have been hurt can learn to love with abandon.

As I started listening to this book, I really thought I'd have to struggle to finish it. To my surprise this book was everything but boring or dry. I found it to a tender coming of age, love, life story. I recommend it and hope you'll enjoy as much as I did.

thought this book would be boring-I was so wrong!

It was suspenseful and deep. It wasn't a perfect happy ending like you would suspect though. The writing was great but I don't like how the main character was punished by her best friend that wasn't very likeable to me.

Great writing, too close to home

I like unlikable characters - this was not it. it was just plain bad written.

Overly self-indulgent narrator, bad written

Carried me right through… even the parts I could see coming had a sweetness as they unfolded.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole book
An “oh, darn, is it over?” Book for me.

A fun read … a romance with depth

Predictable but warm and heart felt. The German narration was a bit much. It just didn't fit for me.

Struggled to finish

Erin Bartels has an amazing way of guiding her readers in seeing the story from all sides. I have loved her stories from her first book and am always thrilled when she writes a new one. Each of her books has touched me in a different way. I want to say that they keep getting better, although I enjoyed her first as much as her most recent.

Another wonderful story by Bartels
