Captures the same memories I share of my family cottage experiences, but with so much more family dysfunction. I’m anticipating a mini series on HBO in the future…especially given the authors career history as the HBO drama series editor.

I looked forward to going to bed early to read…always a good sign of a good book.

Devastating in its honesty and its brutality, I couldn’t put this down after starting. The ending feels abrupt but I appreciated the novel as a whole.
