A review by wishfulfillment
That Summer by Sarah Dessen

4.0

More of a 3.5.

Why you might bump this up on your TBR: Dessen skillfully writes detailed contemporary. She takes us on an engaging journey of what seems like an actual person's life and she leaves us with a moral at the end. Even though it's very old, it still had elements that I hadn't seen yet. I really enjoyed reading it, especially for her writing style.

Why you might bump this down on your TBR: This is clearly a first-work in that it felt too short and simple. She used the R-word.
