Description
Dr. Becca Weiland had the perfect life—or so she thought, until she learned her husband cheated on her after a decade of marriage. With divorce papers signed, Becca throws her trademark caution to the wind and agrees to an impromptu monthlong vacation at a beach house with Sadie, a woman she's known all her life but really doesn't know at all.
Free-spirit Sadie Bloom is Becca’s opposite in every way, living in the moment and wasting zero energy on what comes next. But the pastry chef’s nothing-bothers-me exterior hides a fear she’s not ready to face—one that may jeopardize a future she never realized she wanted.
At first, Sadie’s go-big-or-go-home style bumps up against Becca’s perfectionism, but soon they’re bonding over too much Schnapps, a leaky roof, a bikini wax gone awry, and awkward meet-cutes with two of the hottest men in town. Best of all, in getting to know each other, they’ve gotten to know themselves, and together they find the courage to discover what it really means to live.

"The Cottage on Glass Lake" by Amy Pine is a heartwarming and engaging novel that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The story follows the journey of two women, Becca and Sadie, who are at different points in their lives but find themselves at a crossroads. Becca, recently divorced, is reeling from the betrayal of her ex-husband, while Sadie is struggling with a fear that is holding her back from pursuing her dreams.
The characters are well-developed and relatable, and I found myself rooting for both of them throughout the story. The relationship between Becca and Sadie is beautifully written, and it was a joy to watch them support and encourage each other as they navigated the challenges that life threw their way.
The setting of the novel, a quaint cottage on Glass Lake, is described in vivid detail, making it easy to imagine the beautiful scenery and picturesque surroundings. The author's writing style is engaging and the pacing of the story is just right, keeping me hooked until the very end.
Overall, I would highly recommend "The Cottage on Glass Lake" to anyone looking for a heartwarming and uplifting read. This book is perfect for fans of women's fiction, and readers who enjoy stories about personal growth and the power of friendship. I give this book 4/5 stars and cannot wait to read more from Amy Pine in the future!
This was a really sweet coming into your own story. The story starts when Becca, a successful OBGYN with the “perfect” life, finds out her husband is cheating on her. This sends her into a tailspin questioning everything she knows about herself and her life. As she is going through this crisis her well meaning sister sends her off to take a vacation to get away from it all, with the catch she has to share a cabin with her sister’s sister-in-law Sadie. Sadie is the total opposite of Becca, a wild free spirit who has lived her life doing what she wants. But when Sadie gets some scary medical news she begins to question all of her life choices. This was a heart warming story about two women finding themselves and a new best friend in the process. I loved the town of glass lake and all the side characters, most especially the precocious 10 year old and her swear jar! A great beach read. I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
I laughed a lot while reading this book. I enjoyed watching Becca loosen up and become her natural self. Sadie has a lot of layers. This is a feel good book that was written really well. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
