I had several suspicions of who the "bad guy" is in this story, which is one way I know a book is good! I was on the edge of my seat from page 20 and I still can't let go of these characters' relationships!

Same Time Next Summer has an FMC who is an epitome of character vs. self. At times, this is very frustrating as the reader. I wanted to reach into the world and shake her. Why did her family just stand by and watch her go through this. Hello, mom! You knew the whole time and just kept making art; say something!
