We don't know Will's inner thoughts but we do know Fern's and it's obvious that Will has woken Fern up in a way that needed to happen. Once again, they hold back, don't say what they need to say, and hurt themselves as much as they hurt others.īoth twenty two and beginning the next stage of their lives, Fern and Will meet for the first time and spend a glorious but bittersweet twenty four hours together.
Something about her good but flawed characters just work for me. Can she do the same for him?Ĭarley Fortune has entertained me again. Will is hiding something, and Fern's not sure she wants to know what it is.īut ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern's going through. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend's the manager, and Fern doesn't know where to begin.
Instead of living in the city, Fern's back home, running her mother's Muskoka lakeside resort-something she vowed never to do. Will didn't.Īt thirty-two, Fern's life doesn't look at all how she once imagined it would. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in Toronto. Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter.
