A review by velma
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
slow-paced
4.0
A story about complicated female friendships, forgiveness, and the blinding desire for revenge.
While the story is fun to read and the twist was unexpected, this book had too much going on for me. I usually love the depth of characters in Jennifer Weiners books, but this one had just a few too many people to keep track of. I didn’t read the synopsis, so I was surprised by the twist and enjoyed it a lot. I usually love Weiner’s books because they’re not cringe love-stories with terrible or whiny dialogue, but this one started to get just a tiny bit cringe at the end. Still a great easy read for when you need a break from deep literary fiction.
