br3nda 's review for:

The Edge of Summer by Viola Shipman
3.0

The story was okay. I did finish it. Unfortunately I figured it out part way through and wasn’t surprised. When I was reading the epilogue I was surprised to not find any reference to Bonnie. She was such a big part of the story but left off in the end.
The “love”story between Tug and Sutton fell flat. There was barely a spark there.
I found myself skipping pages because it was too wordy especially when Sutton was reminiscing and thinking about the life and lessons with her mom.
I’m not a religious person at all but I’m able to ignore religion when it’s used in a story. This story was close to too much for me.
The continual referencing to Covid was over the top, unfortunately.
Not the authors fault but I feel like this book was published too fast for some reason. There are too many typos and grammars mistakes. It looks like the book missed a final proofread.

I did enjoy learning the history of the area. I found myself looking at google maps to see where everyone was.
