Slow Burn Summer: A Novel
by Josie Silver
This book doesn’t know what it wants to be. The cover, title it all sounds like a love story. But the love story doesn’t build. It just appears- which is really terrible considering the title. “He’s hot. He’s there. Oh, now I love him” Ge was described as physically always there for her, but it’s lacking all of the conversations between meeting and falling to be a slow burn.
The book is split in far too many directions:the relationship between her and the author, her and her sister, her and her daughter, her and her old agent, her and the NEW agent…
The themes have such beautiful potential: the love of family, the journeys of grief. But it is not a slow burn romance. It’s too much wrapped up as a simple love story, and it did all of the aspects a disservice for that.
