The Girls of Summer
by Katie Bishop
3.5 Stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
The Girls of Summer sounds like a lighthearted novel about teenage girls in the months of summer vacation… and that it is not. Bishop takes the reader on a dark journey through Rachel’s past, with past and present narratives combining to create a sense of confusion and mystery surrounding what and who draws Rachel to this Greek island. A love story isn’t as pure and innocent as she remembers. There are portions of the book where the pacing is slower than others, but the story keeps you interested, nonetheless. Trigger warnings should be adhered, there are dark and difficult topics discussed throughout. This is a compelling debut novel, I can’t wait to see what else Bishop publishes!
Thank you Netgalley for this great debut ARC in exchange for my honest review.
