Yay, she's back on her game! After trying -and failing - twice to read Dockside, the 3rd book in the Lakeshore Chronicles series, I was a little hesitant to pick up Snowfall on Willow Lake. I am glad I did! I loved Sophie more than I expected to. Her stoic external demeanor, self-doubts, perseverance, and determination are relatable and well-expressed. I also really liked the global element that the nature of her character and past introduced to the plot. It felt not quite so cheesy, and more wholesome, with this big picture perspective. Of course, Noah is charming even in his awkward moments. There is a twist to the story, emotional hurdles to overcome, and lots of family involvement, as per Susan Wiggs-style. My only irritation was the perspectives of Sophie's kids. Although I liked it at moments, it sometimes introduced too much to the plotline. Names began to become hard to keep track of. (And how many books are left in the series? Oh boy, what did I get myself into…) My suggestion is to keep notes of who is who throughout the series if you are going to read everything.
