![]() ![]() That said, I did find myself continuing to read in order to get to the big reveal, where Ollie finally admits how or why Leah died. ![]() It’s obvious early on that Leah died at the lake and I guess that we’re just supposed to accept that June doesn’t want to look too closely at the events of that week. It helps a little bit that June, narrating in the present day, doesn’t know the entire story but she still knows a lot more than she lets on as a first person narrator and there’s no real reason to keep the reader in the dark for so long. An event that the book keeps circling around but won’t tell you. The book has an obvious flaw – so obvious that it’s in the title of the book – which is that a large portion of the plot revolves around the trope of “that night”. But what really happened that night on the lake? Seven years later, June is engaged to Ollie, the man Leah loved (the cottage belongs to his family), and Leah is out of the picture. Then June, her best friend, seven years later, also during a week at the same cottage. First Leah, seven years ago, during a week at a cottage on Seneca Lake. One Night at the Lake is told in alternating voices, chapter by chapter. ![]() This book is total fluff but it was easy-to-read fluff and didn’t take very much time to finish. I received an Advance Readers Copy of this book. One Night at the Lake – Bethany Chase (Ballantine Books, 2019) ![]()
