Thank you @macmillan.audio @stmartinspress @netgalley for a copy of this book. I had a few issues with the story that made it a 2 star for me.
- the idea of a 17 year old traveling a summer in Greece by herself
- non-consensual sex
- manipulation of young women by much older men
- Rachel's behavior as an adult and how see treated her husband Tim
I did enjoy how all the author described that summer in Greece and can see how these young adults were so drawn to the lifestyle. Listening to the author's note also made sense as to why the story was written as it was and upped a star.
