After losing her mum years ago to addiction and then death, Emma or Saylor as some know her, is learning how to move on and adapt as her dad remarries to her stepmum Tracy.
At North Lake she discovers her old self from her younger days as she learns about the past she had there growing up as a kid on holiday there with her grandma, mum and family including her aunt's and young cousin's.
She rediscovers her friendship with Roo, the son of her mum's best friend as well as getting to know her grandma, aunt and grown up now cousin's all over again. From, Trinity, Gordon and Bailey, she meets Colin and Brad who get her involved in dance and parties.
This book truly captures how life and people can change over love periods of time apart. The book had typical teen drama from dancing, drinking and ventures in love to discovering family and hidden secrets especially about her mum who died. Emma is a strong character who's conscious of her mum and how her life wound up after addiction and I liked that she was supposed to be aware of all that and had not been hidden away protected from it which is a positive. The story was good but I couldn't help but wish for a further drama to arise from the night danger in the story or with one of the new relatives she gets to know to add some more to the story however as I don't normally like books set at either camp or around lake's this one kept me entertained and the teen drama was fun.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
