Overall, I liked Summerwater, regardless of how I felt about its ending. Moss’s ability to entrench the audience in the minds of the different characters and shift flowingly between them is astounding; the writing shines in its complexity. The audiobook version, which I listened to, did an amazing job of communicating the story as well. I don’t think this book is for everyone, and I don’t think it’s perfect, but I enjoyed its reflection, however rainy and gray.

Beautiful writing and storytelling from Moss! This was my first book from her and I can’t wait to read more. Normally I wouldn’t read this type of book where nothing significant happens plot wise, but the writing just held my attention and made me want to finish the book!
