Women's Fiction Psychological
A tragedy on a hot summer night at a lake house forever alters the lives of two best friendsโand the man they both love. But the truth isnโt as simple as it appears in this intricate novel of love, friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness in the tradition of Miranda Beverly-Whittemoreโs Bittersweet. Leah Tessaro has been waiting for this moment for a long time: Her boyfriend, Ollie, is taking her to his familyโs home on Seneca Lake for a week of lazy summer bliss, boating, and barbeque. The couple has been together for four years, and Leah is convinced that Ollie is finally going to pop the question. And Leah canโt wait to share the joyous news with her best friend, June Kang, who is joining them on their getaway, and whose presence will make everything feel more real. Seven years later, the moment June has been dreading has finally arrived: Her fiancรฉ, Ollie, is taking her to his familyโs lake house. But this is not an ordinary visit to an ordinary place; it is a house haunted by Juneโs long-buried memories of her lost friend, Leahโand the connection that appears to remain between Leah and the man for whom Juneโs love is as deep as her sense of foreboding. Alternating between the two womenโs vibrant voices, One Night at the Lake is a gripping novel that explores a complex tangle of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal, all driving toward one question: What exactly happened to Leah on that hot summer night?
