Full Review from my blog Owl Eyes Reviews
I read Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler my freshman year of high school. Now, it’s my freshman year of college and I’m reading another book of hers. I remember that I really enjoyed Twenty Boy Summer, but I felt like there was something missing from it. I decided to go into this one optimistic, even though I was nervous about it ending in the same way.
This book was different from many that I’ve been reading recently because this was mainly focused on a family. I really liked this because I’m sick of reading about high school drama and sappy romance. I honestly cared about what was going to happen to this family, I didn’t want to see them fall out in the end.
The romance in this book wasn’t really my thing. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t connect with me, unfortunately. This was probably because I wanted to focus more on the family rather than the romance. (That, in my opinion, didn’t really need to be there.)
I think this book isn’t rated higher because I felt like there were so many things trying to happen that by the end, the story felt incomplete
Overall, this story was a fresh air from what I’ve been reading, but still not what I’m looking for.
