slow-paced

2.5

the quartet ending with summer is interesting. Years normally start with winter and end with winter but the choice of beginning of fall and ending with summer, the school calendar year, makes more sense to me. summers are slow, steady, heavy, sweltering- and i feel like that is most like later life. and fall is full or change and  unrestfullness, shedding skin- like the beginning of life

i didn’t really like this book though. i liked that it tied together some previous characters. but it overall didn’t feel like summer to me and only had a few pages of summer themed prose.

overall not a big fan of this quartet, i don’t understand the hype
