Emma finds a place in North Lake, working and playing with her idiosyncratic cousins and their friends, but her sense of belonging is disrupted when her dad returns and he and Nana force her to move to the rich side for two weeks. The family runs an inexpensive motel on the original, working-class side of North Lake Emma’s parents met when he taught sailing lessons at the more modern, highbrow resort area called Lake North.
Emma’s mother was raised there, but Emma hasn’t visited in years. Unexpected complications mean she has to spend the three weeks of her father’s honeymoon with her mother’s side of the family in the resort town where they live. Between memories of her mother, her anxious father, and Nana, her wealthy, patrician, paternal grandmother, who helped raise her, Emma’s grown up more than a little anxious herself. Seventeen-year-old Emma’s dentist father has just remarried, 10 years after divorcing Emma’s addict mother, who later died of an overdose. Prolific author Dessen ( Once and for All, 2017, etc.) spends summer at the lake.
