📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Sarah Dessen
A change of plans means Emma Saylor Payne will be spending the summer at her late mother’s home of North Lake, where she hasn’t been since she was a little girl. Emma doesn’t remember her mother’s side of the family and everyone there knows her as Saylor. The lake is split between the working class on the North Lake side and the wealthy on the Lake North side and she finds herself stuck between both worlds, as her father used to spend time at North Lake. Despite this, she chooses to be Saylor. While at the lake, Saylor hopes to learn more about her mother and the family she hasn’t seen.
Sarah Dessen leaves behind her familiar settings of Colby and Lakeview (though Saylor is from Lakeview) to take us to a new location of North Lake. In some ways, this book feels a little older than Dessen’s previous works but the same wonderful feeling is there even if the comfortable setting isn’t. The characters aren’t as memorable as her previous books either but will be overall delightful while you read.
