Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand

4.0

Summer of 69 accomplishes what it sets out to do -- give a picture of living through that whirlwind time as a girl / woman -- times, they were a-changing. I connected with every female character except the stodgy Nonny -- the sisters and their mom, Kate, were all well-crafted. They were also all spoiled, but I was able to put that aside, which is a huge accomplishment of the author. I don't usually identify with characters (or people!) who "summer" in Nantucket or the Vineyard.

Hildebrand's books are candy after the quinoa I was reading all week. Lots of fun, good memories of a time just before mine, and overall, a world I enjoyed being in.
