The Summer Children by Dot Hutchison

5.0

It's rare for a book to make me cry, but this one did, and for all the best reasons. I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire Collector series, but this one was extra special because of how well I could relate to Mercedes. Hutchison brings characters to life in a way that few writers can accomplish. They are real people, reacting to extraordinary and mundane situations the way I'd expect real people to react. It's refreshing and makes the events of this book hit that much harder. I can't wait to read more from this amazing writer!
