A review by lostmymindinbooks
Night Owls and Summer Skies by Rebecca Sullivan
1.0
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a free review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is, quite frankly, the only reason I didn't dnf it. I didn't want to ruin my score on there.
I really, really wanted to love thos book - a gay summer romance set at camp.
Sadly, almost all of the characters were eighter unlikable, flat, or both. Especially the storys antagonist lacked character depht and was just an easy way to create drama.
The main character suffers from depression and anxiety and has several phobias. Whilst not being in her mental health state, nothing really felt believable and more often than not her behaviour was simply annoying and, once again, felt like it was used as an easy way to create drama/"plot".
The only part I actually did enjoy wad the authors/narrators voice throughout the story and how mostly there was a show not tell way of setting the scene and giving images of the characters.
However, that alone isn't enough to make this book something I'd recommend.
Trigger warnings
-homophobic parent
-bullying
-friend betrayal
