The Summer We Buried by Jody Gehrman
3.0
Thank you NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the ARC!
This was slow paced psychological novel about Tansy who is an academic counselor. Tansy was best friends with Selena almost 2 decades ago when a tragic and shocking incident made it difficult for their friendship to go on. Now, after years of no communication, Selena is suddenly back in Tansy's life, demanding a favor.
This book failed to keep me interested. The story is told only from one POV. I think having multiple POVs would have helped. I would have been particularly interested in Jupiter or Selena's POV. Another thing that I felt was missing in the book was some good character development, the lack of which made it difficult for me to relate with the characters. Also, the intrigue factor was not that great. The book really use a little more development of plot lines to make it more impactful and intriguing. With a little more editing, this can be a much better book.
This book would be a good read for someone who likes slow-paced psychological mysteries.
