The Lake

Ya know...if the character relationships were fleshed out a bit more, I would've rated this a solid 3 or 4 stars (damn good ratings in my opinion). Sadly, I just really couldn't connect with the characters on an individual basis AND a friendship basis, which made the plot fall short for me. I'm huge into believable and developed characters, so when a book is lacking in that department, I struggle with it. Too bad, because the plot, overall, was pretty neat.
