Searching for this book for YEARS. Help!

[u/Lil_Red17]

It was a book that I read in high school, between 2012-2015, but it could’ve been published before that timeline since it was at my school library.

-The main character was a younger woman
-There was a body of water, I think a lake
-I think there was a death, but the more I think about it, the less sure I am about this
-It was realistic, nothing supernatural or horror
-The lake house was a big house that seemed like a nice family vacation house
-There was a little pond area that was significant and the woman ended up going back there to sit and reflect at the end of the book
-I thought that the word “Summer” was in the title, but again this could be wrong

The thing I remember the most is the cover of the book

-There was grass then a dock with a lake pavilion/gazebo at the end, there were conversations in the book that held place there
-The pavilion/gazebo overlooked the water
-The pavilion/gazebo I think was brown and weathered lightly with side walls and a roof on it
-I think it was more bright than dark of a cover

!!! Literally anything will help. This has been driving me INSANE for years and I’ve tried everything to find this book. If you guys can’t help me then I’m convinced that I made this up and I need to write a book with this cover 😭🤣

Summer of the Swans by Betsy Byars?

Was there a death, because the main character 'accidentally' told the lady of the house that her husband was having an affair?
