The best fiction simply tells the truth. But the truth is never simple.

When novelist 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. The plan? To confront Tyler, her childhood best friend’s brother—and the man who inspired the antagonist in her first book. If she can prove that she told the truth about what happened during those long-ago summers, perhaps she can put the letter’s claims to rest and meet the swiftly approaching deadline for her next book.

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

Plumb the depths of the human heart with this emotional 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
