Love once lost, but
will it be found again? That is the
dilemma that Clayton and Olivia must decide after their young, teenage summer
love comes to an abrupt end after Olivia comes to Sugar Lake for the summer to find that Clayton has left
without a good-bye. Poor Olivia. Oliva is a city girl with small town roots. Her parents decided to move to New York after
they were married which meant that Olivia and her siblings became city
slickers, as some calls it. Though
Olivia was a city girl, she would visit Sugar Lake every summer to visit her
family. Clayton was the golden boy who had a bright future, but a stupid
decision caused him and Olivia to take separate paths. Twelve years later,
Olivia volunteers to help her Aunt Joyce, who broke her hip, to run the family
bakery in Sugar Lake, Georgia. Being
back in Sugar Lake means seeing Clayton Morris again and facing the man who
broke her heart so many years ago.
Now I wanted to get
in to the juicy stuff because this story was hilarious and I just adored Aunt
Joyce. The southern sayings and
mannerisms were so on point. This was a
nice and clean romance and I appreciated how the author wrote her scenes with
such charisma. The family dynamic was
great and it felt so realistic right down to the cousin rivalry. Once again,
Aunt Joyce was hilarious.!!
I was sort of in the
middle with this book because while I laughed, I also was looking for more
dialogue. The characters talked more to
themselves than anyone else. The chemistry
between the character was there, but there was nothing special about it. Their relationship did not give me zings or
the warm feeling inside. It was okay at
best and I feel like I really did not get to know the characters the way I
would have if there less monologue. At
the beginning, the story started off very vague and it almost lost me for a
sec. Thankfully, the author pulled me back into the story. Another thing is the
"meh" ending. To me the two
most important elements of a book is the beginning and the end. The author failed to pull me in with both and
if it wasn't for Aunt Joyce, this book would have a lower ranking.
Grab your book and have at it. One more thing…be prepared to laugh and fall in love with this
family.
