With her dad, stepmom, and Nana, she's Emily--straight-laced and organizes to help ease her anxiety. Her mother, who passed away, called her Saylor, as did her side of the family from North Lake, a place she visited once and barely remembers. When she's left with her relatives for a few weeks she's quickly thrown into a completely different world, where the memory of her mother and the stories she never knew pulls her further into life on the lake.Her dad used to work summers at the ritzy Lake North resort, while her mom grew up in working class North Lake. Much like these two sides of the lake, Emma/Saylor realizes there are two sides of her as well, and deciding who she is isn't easy. Identity is an important theme in this story, and the more she discovers about her mom and her past, and she grows close to her cousins and grandma, she builds a connection to this town and the people there. There's also a lot of conflict between her and her dad, who kept her mom's past from her. This relationship frustrated me so much, I felt like I was Saylor, wanting to yell and curse out the dad on multiple occasions!I love that Saylor and her cousins get to know each other again. Extended family can be just as important as the immediate. There are several different kinds of romance going on; couples that argue a lot, delusional crushes, unrequited feelings, and old but new beginnings. It covered a lot of ground and showed the range of teenage relationships.Sarah Dessen is known as the YA contemporary queen for good reason. She knows exactly how to balance a wonderful cast of characters, personal struggles and development, plus sweet summer romances. I will say she has a formula she rarely strays from, which as a reader can be a little too "routine" and leaves you wanting some variety. I've never connected with any of her MCs on a personal level--I grew up in a very diverse lower-middle class environment with a single parent, which I haven't seen represented as a main focus in her books. That aside, there's no denying she's great at what she does, and I always enjoy her books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is literally amazing *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2022* This was the first Sarah Dessen book I ever read. It got me into reading her books, and I love them all, but this one holds a special place in my heart. I’m not going to spoil any of it, but it honestly is a good read. It’s so heartwarming, and gives you a feel of just, summer. It’s well written, thought out, and beautiful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MUST Read! *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2019* I've been a fan of Sarah Dessen novels ever since I was in high school, and needless to say - her books always hit me right in the heart and still manage to make me emotional with just a well-worded, thought-provoking phrase. I have every one of her novels, but I had a hard time connecting to the characters and storyline of her most recently written novels, especially "The Moon and More." When I found out a new one had recently been published, and some of the reviewers had mentioned that it hit them right in the "feels", I began to get really high expectations. And this book really met every single one.This almost-500-page novel takes you on a journey and if you're able to finish it within a day, you'll most likely feel like you've ran a marathon - only mentally. And like all her other books, you take a journey with the main character as she finds out who she is through the characters that come to life. And at the end, you get a feeling of completion and finality. Even with the various characters in the book and several that really didn't make too big of an impact, the important characters stood out and helped add to the story.There's not much of an overlap with her old books where you see some characters resurface or be mentioned in this one, but you do get the familiar names that have become etched (i.e. [hate] Spinnerbait, Colby). I won't go too much into details, but there were parts of the book where I just started tearing up and reflecting on my own life - the power of words told through the lens of a 17 year old girl. Who would have thought they'd make such a huge impact. And you can really feel the imagery, the characters, the scene visually come to life as you imagine scenarios playing out in your head.The only disappointment - I wish Dessen wrote out Trinity's pregnancy and the return of the Sergeant. Definitely would have liked to read about him and the baby. I just know that when I delve back into the book for a second (and third and fourth) read, I'll be picking up on little nuances that I hadn't seen during my prior read. Can't wait to reread this book and I'm so happy that this book is reminiscent of the storyline and writing style of her older novels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/129590938-the-rest-of-the-story-hardcover-june-4-2019](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/129590938-the-rest-of-the-story-hardcover-june-4-2019) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
