And I also loved Brock's mom whose good-hearted presence functioned as a chaperone to Rylee and Brock as well as a Good Samaritan to neighbors around the lake. I'm from the Deep South and I was fascinated with the way the author described their "Snowmageddon" storm and how they managed to live with the extreme cold when the power went out.

There is chemistry and a feeling of being noticed and appreciated-a feeling of belonging together. They meet again and things are different. Flash forward to the present when Rylee is 30 yo and Brock, now a single dad, is 35. He wasn't unkind but he paid her no mind and she finally gave up on him years later when he got married. Rylee had one of the crushiest crushes on the older teenage boy next door to her family's lake house when she was a tween.
