The Summer We Buried by Jody Gehrman
4.0
3.5 ⭐ rounded up
Tansy and Selene have a history together that involves a dark secret. Now 20 years later Selene is back and wants Tansy, a school counselor, to talk to her 18 year old daughter, Juniper, who she thinks is being abused by her boyfriend, Colton.
As Tansy tries to help Juniper she grows close to her uncle, Zach. Zach doesn't trust his own sister and urges Tansy to keep her distance.
Selene is very manipulative and rather annoying.
Zach was a delight.
Some chapters were awfully long ~ like one chapter was over an hour listen - how many pages does that equate to? Geez.
I am wondering if I missed something because I am not sure why Tansy's ex-husband was introduced into the story. I can't figure out what that bit added to the story.
Emily was an excellent narrator nearly nailing every character. I listened at 2x and it was the perfect speed.
I am happy with how everything played out in the end. This was my first time with this author and I'd probably give her a go again.
