One Perfect Summer [Paperback] Novak, Brenda

Three childhood friends. One lake house. Twenty years of secrets about to surface. Serenity, Reagan, and Lorelei grew up spending every summer together, inseparable until a shattering betrayal tore them apart. Now adults with their own complicated lives, they're back at the lake house where it all began — and where everything fell apart. Serenity's marriage is crumbling. Reagan's hiding a devastating truth. Lorelei's holding onto resentments she can't let go. Over one long, hot summer, old wounds reopen and long-buried truths emerge. But so does the possibility of forgiveness, healing, and the kind of friendship that doesn't just survive broken promises — it rebuilds from them. Brenda Novak writes women's fiction with genuine emotional weight, characters who feel like people you know, and relationships that matter. For readers who loved Elin Hilderbrand's beach reads but want more emotional depth.
