An interesting perspective on grief, sorrow and finding yourself. Some parts of the story were poignant and heartfelt. Other parts seemed to gloss over important points. Overall, it was a good read but didn't make me too excited to read anything else by this author.

Thank you to #NetGalley for providing this book for an honest review.

This is the first book by Nicole Tone that I've had the pleasure of reading. This book deserves more exposure than it's seen so I'll do my part and sing it's praises.WOW! It's one of the rare 1 sitting reads I've had this year. Upon finishing it I immediately purchased Ms Tone's other books. I wanted to write a review right away buy needed time to digest. 2 months since I've read thus and I'm still thinking about it and it's one if those reviews you feel you can never do the book justice. It's unforgettable.

I was held COMPLETELY captivated by the writing; the story, the characters, the subjects covered. A young women's life seemingly falls a part as she deals with grief, trauma, self-harm and recovery. Sure she makes some questionable decisions, but NOTHING justifies the hand she's dealt. My heart broke for her time and again, and I love how she grows through it all. Definitely a #2018MustRead

Wow! I am saying wow because of the way the story was crafted. Lake Effect will leave you a sobbing mess after reading it.

Sophia Daniels is a graduate student who is having an affair with her professor. Sophia yearns to feel a human's touch and doesn't care if her professor is married and his wife is pregnant. At this point, I was uncomfortable and irritated with Sophia. What happened after the affair -supposedly ended- will shake you to your core.

This story is about men who cannot take responsibility for their crimes, and about strong women who have the power to take charge of their life no matter how hard it tries to break them down.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC. To author Nicole Tone, never stop writing.

A beautifully written story- the cover certainly reflects on the story- it’s about something haunting, mysterious and dark.
It is a story of the life of Sophie which the author has handled wonderfully.
Thank you to both NetGalley and Nicola Tone for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest unbiased review.
