General Description: When a dead body rocks a community of summer vacationers, secrets and lies start to make their way to the forefront of the summer. Who committed the crime? Who was the crime committed against? Can the community ban together to catch a killer?
The good:
- Once i let go of my expectations, the book has some ridiculous banter that was funny.
- The story being centered around a new tennis coach and getting an outside perspective of the community was interesting.
- The multiple perspectives (like 10+) give you a true birds eye view that I appreciated while not being completely overwhelming.
The loss of 1.5 stars:
- The length between the prologue and getting to that same point in the traditional novel took sooo long. It made the book feel much slower
- Folks have quite cringy behavior in this book that I could not let go of.
Overall, if you aren't hung up on the prologue and figuring out too much and you like books where you appreciate the journey and not necessarily the destination, you'd probably like this!
