Thank you to #netgalley and
MIRA/Harlequin for an advanced digital copy of #EastCoastGirls in exchange for an honest review. Publication Date is May 26th 2020.
This is a book that claims to be more than what it is. I actually found the "tragedy" to be far fetched and unrealistic. When it was revealed (because it's built-in as a mystery), it felt like watching a bad movie. These women are very stuck in the past. I couldn't relate to any of them, except for Hannah (and only her constant worry and heightened anxiety). The writing was average. The perspective changed a lot but there was no difference in writing style. I actually initially rated this book a 3⭐ in my mind. Then a conversation with Lindsey @bringmybooks and a refresh of the synopsis and what this book claims to be brought my rating down to a 2⭐. Unless I totally missed something, the official synopsis makes this book seem more than what it is. I just think there are better books out there to read this summer.
