stacikristine 's review for:
The Summer Before the War
by Helen Simonson
I would give 2.5 stars if I could. The book was promising at the beginning, and it read like a classic, so I thought I would enjoy it. However, it quickly began to drag. Then it picked up so quickly towards the end that it felt like it was skimmed over (as if there was so much time wasted earlier that the author ran out of book space and had to quickly tie up all loose ends). Also, there was some shocking information revealed in the epilogue that didn't have a chance to be explained or resolved.
