Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum
2.0

I can't quite decide if this should be a 2 or a 2.5 star rating. The story kept me reading, but don't go into this thinking it's a thriller or mystery. There's the smalllllest little bit of a mystery, the rest is just rich people drama. Which I usually enjoy, but for this one it just didn't land the same way for some reason. I think there were too many perspectives, to be perfectly honest.

I also read that the manuscript of this book caused a lot of drama for the real location of Saltaire and the author. Which if she did write about any drama that came from real life, I can totally see why people would be in an uproar! There's a lot to unpack here if real people are involved in these scandals.

Overall, it was a short, quick, read that kept me going. But it landed somewhat flat and I probably won't remember much about it after the next few months.
