Books by the Lake

An above-average, memorable book. Sometimes the main characters of this story are very, very frustrating in clinging to the negative patterns of thought that get in their way... but that contributes to the air of realism that I liked about it. Doesn't advance as fast as most romances. I had a few problems while reading it, which are mostly down to me not the author, such as the way characters talk about sex being a bit cruder than I'm used to, or that a lot of it takes place in glitz-New York social circles that seem stranger than Mars to me.
