If you like your hot weather with a twist of suspense, this is one to check out.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for my eARC for review!
The Girls of Summer is the story of Rachel, told in alternating chapters of present-day, and when she was a young adult travelling in the Greek Islands.
Rachel does the typical summer vacation travel essentials - parties, beaches, making new friends. But when she opts to stay for a gap year and work in a local bar, a more sinister situation emerges.
A romance with the older Alastair turns into an obsession that resurfaces in her current day life in London, despite her marriage to Tom. And uncovers seedy secrets from that fateful vacation, and a girl that didn't make it home.
Author Katie Bishop's debut is an atmospheric novel with an unnerving undercurrent that hooked me right away. I can't wait for future books from her.
Recommended!
Released on June 6.
