Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free copy to review. My opinions are my own.
Trigger warnings - rape, sexual exploitation of young girls and women, suicide.
The Girls of Summer is about a woman called Rachel. It flips between the present day, where she is an adult and the summer she spent on a Greek island when she was almost 18 years old. Rachel meets an older man called Alastair on the island. She falls in love with him very quickly. Their relationship and what happened on the island still affects her life as a married adult.
The story was very disturbing. It was inspired by the #MeToo movement. I thought it was very well written and the description of the island made me feel like I was there with the characters.
