There were times when I found myself rooting for each of the characters in turn and then times when I wanted to simply shake some sense into each of them. Although Kate and JD are the main characters here, I found myself drawn to the deeply introspective teen Callie mostly because her views on life were shaped not by her own actions but by external forces. Her life was a consequence of the world around her. This is an easy to read book. The descriptions of the lake and the secluded cottages dotting its banks bring a sense of sublime serenity to the reader.
