A review by winitshan
The Summer We Buried by Jody Gehrman

3.0

This book was very much a slow burn thriller. I had a hard time connecting with it early on, but it picked up for me a lot about a third of the way into it.

My main issue with this book was just the character development. I would have loved multiple POVs, especially from Selene and Jupiter. It was hard to care too much because I had trouble connecting with anyone. Some plot threads also felt unnecessary and irrelevant by the end of the book. I think it would have been much stronger with a little bit of editing.

Overall, I thought the story was predictable, but I was still interested on exactly how it would end. I definitely recommend this for people who like slower paced thrillers.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my review copy!
