When a spate of bad luck upends her meticulously planned life, Eliza moves to a charming--and mysterious--Midwestern lake town, where she just might find herself while trying to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary, Kate Clayborn, and Sophie Kinsella. Eliza has always had a plan...until her seamlessly plotted life implodes, and her engagement falls apart. At thirty-two, she suddenly finds herself second-guessing the picture-perfect future she had always envisioned--one that included raising 2.5 children nearby her tight-knit Italian family in San Francisco. Then Eliza is offered the chance to start over: in Juneberry Lake, a small Midwestern town eager to lure remote workers to their picturesque community. Shocking her family and friends (and herself), Eliza packs up her apartment and buys a lake house sight unseen. Juneberry Lake is as delightful as it looked in the pictures. And the pictures didn't even include Joel, a fellow new arrival who works alongside her every day in an adorable coffee shop. But if Eliza is hoping to spy her uncertain future in the shimmering waters of Juneberry Lake, she'll find herself out of luck. Because her friendly Midwestern neighbors are keeping a marvelous secret--one that will help Eliza see that her recent spate of bad luck was never her fault...and that the tide can turn when you least expect it. With the help of her friends and family, new and old, Eliza is finally ready to build a new future that's entirely her own.

Not my normal type of story, for some reason I was expecting more of a msytery. I did enjoy the characters and the small town type atmosphere. If you're looking for an easy to read, vaction type book, this is it.

I received an ARC from Netgalley.
