IM SO CONFLICTED. Dang. Idk if I can back this. It’s a good read and I enjoyed most of it. The plot is too crazy to come to terms with. But I guess that’s the sign of a good book. It defo hooked me in massively, I was reading obsessively today. Mercy mercy. Maybe too heart-wrenching for a reread.
I’m folorn, I’m shocked, I’m almost grateful that this WASNT my childhood when I was so sure I wished it was.
Apart from the ending, it was everything I wanted from my childhood. I was able to live vicariously through the pages. The lakeside sports, spontaneous shenanigans in the hot, summer nights, working together, growing together, bonding together and an all-consuming love was everything.
4 stars because I’m reading this genre for funny, happy vibes and my world was destroyed but it’s very well written and there were some deep, earthy moments of loveliness.
Thank you Irene for being my book-trauma therapist.
