They talk like a therapist wrote out how a healthy conversation should sound. Completely unrealistic and boring.

Idk if it’s just moving too slow (I believe the intention is to be a slow paced emotional read about grief and loss) and I just don’t think this is the right book for right now. I will be setting it aside to try again another time.

*** I received an advanced e-copy from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review

A family vacation turned into a tragedy. Bella was having such a hard time dealing with the loss of her dad and her sister that her mom took her to spend the summer at her grandmother's house. Three generations living under one roof, and each one keeping their own secrets. Home For the Summer is heartfelt and enjoyable. This is the perfect beach read.
