That Summer
by Jennifer Weiner
3.5 rounded up
This story has multiple POVs but the most important belong to Daisy and Diana. With an alternating past/present timeline we follow the two Diana's until their lives collide in a heartbreaking revelation. Do not be fooled by the title and cartoonish cover. It's not a light and fluffy beach read. This book deals with serious subject matter like sexual assault, manipulation, accountability and revenge. I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did Big Summer. I felt the pacing lagged a bit at times and I did this sped up on audio so I imagine it would have felt even more so if I had been reading the physical book. Still, this is a timely #metoo movement read that Weiner fans will definitely enjoy.
