Really enjoyed it. Easy read and enjoyed the style of writing.
Made it halfway through and I just can’t get into the story. I like the characters but I’m not interested enough to continue the rest of it.
4.25/5! seven summers is the emotional story of a girl and boy who fall in love over seven summers but are thwarted by every possible obstacle. as time progresses and stages of life change, the question becomes if liv and finn's love is strong enough to weather any storm. paige toon writes grief in such an artful and thought invoking way, truly making the reader think outside of the context of the book and into that of their own life. to me, this book was a message to be grateful for every moment. it's easy to get caught up in the what ifs or what could have been or what might be -- what we NEED to do is live. i feel such an urge to express my gratitude for the people and opportunities in my life, and how powerful that a fictional story is what inspire this so fiercely. i adored this novel, even when i was deeply upset, and will likely think about this story for an age to come.
my only quarrel with this book is the epilogue. i felt like for all that the book did building characters and events out, the epilogue was far too rushed. i think if it had been an extended epilogue with time to flesh everything out, the conclusion would have made sense. there's almost a lack of closure to a certain character's story and too quick a jump into something intense. this is my only reason for not giving this book five stars as it unfortunately left me without the rush and the intense emotion i had felt for the rest of the story.
