Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum

1.0

I live in a community similar to the one the author parodies (substitute Tahoe for Salcombe), and yet sensitivity is not the reason for my one-star rating. The novel is full of caricatures that are so thinly developed, ridiculously unreal (unless we’re talking “reality TV”), and entirely unlikeable. Is there any character with redeeming qualities? Zero. Even that could be swept under the rug if the plot were engaging, but this story wasn’t even a fun summer read. Glad I sped it up so it didn’t waste too many hours of my life.
