My Summer of Love by Helen Cross
2.0
This book was recommended to me by a close friend who didn’t remember much of the plot, but said she enjoyed it. It mainly details the struggles and experiences of young women growing up in the eighties in England. The story can be difficult to follow at times and there are a lot of questions that are left unanswered.
The ending was somewhat interesting and something unexpected, but I wouldn’t say it would be enough for me to recommend to another person. Might be enjoyable for other readers, but it was not for me.
The main character Mona who is fifteen and experiencing all the troubles associated with that age. She enjoys gambling, drinking, and committing crimes. Mona is exploring her sexuality by entering a relationship with Tamsin, who is going through similar experiences. The don’t realize the consequences of their actions and that was the main takeaway from the book for me.
