![]() The freedom of adolescent summer love is constricted by the complexities of adult life in this heartfelt contemporary loosely linked to Falkner's Reed Brothers series. We can be friends and spend another summer together, right? Sure, we can. Jake is willing to tell me about his, but I can't share mine with him. Our story started eighteen years ago, and then we both made lives with other people. ![]() I just can't act on it, and neither can Jake. Memories swamp me every time I look out over the clear, cool water. I haven't seen Jake in eighteen years, but the moment I lay eyes on him, I feel safer than I have in a very long time. ![]() If I concentrate on her, maybe I won't have to face my own problems. But what I want most of all is just to take care of Katie. Her last name isn't Higgins anymore, because Katie is married with three kids and one more on the way, but when she shows up at Lake Fisher with her kids, danger trails her all the way there. My life is shit, my job is gone, and my dad had a stroke, so I find myself back at Lake Fisher once again. We spent one summer together at Lake Fisher when we were sixteen and then I never saw her again. Katie Higgins was the first girl I ever loved. ![]()
