I never anticipated Charlie Florek.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it.
Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart.
Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.

      Starred review from May 1, 2025
      Fortune returns to Barry's Bay (site of Every Summer After, 2022), and although some familiar faces appear (like Percy, Sam, and Charlie), the novel stands on its own with the story of photographer Alice. Alice takes on every assignment she can, hoping to fill up every second of her day in an attempt to forget that her long-term boyfriend has left and is now engaged to someone else. When her beloved grandmother, Nan, falls and needs someone to care for her, it forces Alice to take a break. She decides to take her Nan back to Barry's Bay for the summer. There, she hopes Nan will recuperate and that Alice herself will find her way back to why she loves photography. What Alice doesn't expect is to fall for Charlie Florek, a local man whom she photographed when they were both teenagers--a photo that changed her life forever. Readers will enjoy the steamy love story that develops but will also appreciate Alice's personal growth. Not only does she find love, she finds her purpose in her career. Fans of Annabel Monaghan will agree with Nan that ""good things happen at the lake.
