The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

there’s no such thing as happily ever after. There’s only happy for a short period of time before everything falls apart.

“People say that love is rare. I am not so sure. What is rare is something even more desirable. Understanding. There is no point in being loved if you are not understood. They are simply loving an idea of you they have in their mind. They are in love with love. They are in love with their loving. To be understood. And not only that, but to be understood and appreciated once understood. That is what matters.”
― Matt Haig, The Life Impossible

“I want the world to remember that small acts, done in love, matter every bit as much as the ones that make the newspaper and the history books.”
― Ariel Lawhon, The Frozen River

“I suppose that is one of the purposes of all reading. It helps you live lives beyond the one you are inside.”

“Love is a funny thing,’ the mayor went on. ‘It's not always big or loud or over the top. Most of the time, it’s quiet and unassuming. It’s a shared cup of coffee on a rainy day or reading side by side together every night. It’s finding the person who gets you. The person who will have your back through it all. ‘Your person,’ he added”
― Laurie Gilmore, The Gingerbread Bakery
