One Golden Summer is a new escape to the lake. 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 17—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Charlie Florek was 19 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 17 again. Sun-slanted days and warm nights 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.
