Not my favorite Elin book, but lovely nonetheless. The basics are all here: lovable characters, a moving story, that quintessential beach-y vibe, but I still found it a little harder to get through than most of her others. Maybe it was my someone I love very dearly being diagnosed with a second cancer tumor, getting surgery for it and dying in the middle of me reading Barefoot that slowed me down so much… But also there was the way some characters (I’m looking right at ya Brenda and Melanie) kept making the worst possible decisions that also stressed me out a little.
