A review by sonamreads
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner

3.0

I have mixed feelings about this book. What i like is that the book deals with body-shaming issues. I like the narration. But the first part of the book is a bit of a drag. End of part 1 comes with a plot twist which brings in a little hope that the story will pick up from there. Part 2 onwards we are solving a murder mystery. There is a genre switch halfway through the book. I had no idea that this book is a mystery. The plot twist in the end didnt come as a huge shock (which I highly expect of a good murder mystery).

The protagonist being an instagram influencer is quite relatable and the theme of friendship, identifying your true self, is done up nicely. But on the romance front, the story is a bit of a disappointment.

All in all, 3.5 stars for this one. Have you read this book? What are your views about it?
