Claire and Holly’s sisterhood has become strained after their mother’s demise. So when Holly moves to Martha’s Vineyard, Claire doesn’t try to patch their relationship.
Little does she know that working for the millionaires on the island could prove to be dangerous for Holly. When her little sister’s silence grows deeper, Claire goes looking for her, holding out hope that everything is fine.
A sudden disappearance and a fishy text message were the two plot points I needed to know before I decided to start reading The Summer Girl.
And Jenny Blackhurst does not disappoint!
Even though some aspects of the story were familiar to me, I could not set this book down. It is riveting in its pursuit of the truth, and the author has incorporated ample twists to keep the momentum going.
I liked the way the author has used plot devices to make the story less predictable. All the focus is usually pointed in a couple of directions, and it’s only towards the end that you realise which piece of the puzzle was missing all along.
The author’s writing is straightforward and doesn’t have any fluff, which makes it a relatively fast-paced read.
After a point, the chapters from Holly’s perspective started to become more and more compelling. I’d want to... Read the rest of the review on my blog

Despite it being a bit slow and Americans using British words without explanation, I think this would make a great limited series.
I really enjoyed this book. In my opinion it was a little slower towards the beginning, but began to pick up pace at about 50/60%, definitely worth it though! Each time I thought we had an answer, there was an unexpected twist which changed everything. I liked that it was told from the view of both Claire and Holly. This story has such a great ending, and tells the story of how grief can drive one to absolute desperation.

Meh, this book was way too long. After reading for a while I thought I must be near the end but turned out to only be about halfway.
I wasn’t a big fan of the main characters. The big sister seems to be sort of stumbling along with none of the urgency you’d expect from someone looking for their missing sister. Holly was fine but I found herlove triangle with the brothers extremely irritating.
I wasn’t convinced by themurderer twist. I’ll admit that I didn’t suspect Gina (I was focussed on Emmy) but I just didn’t find it very convincing that she would have done it/ happened to be there/ etc. I left the book therefore not feeling satisfied.
There are also some editing errors in here including character names being mixed up.
