East Coast Girls by Kerry Kletter

While I can see why people love this book it just wasn't for me.

2/5

We follow 4 best friends who are reconnecting after 12 years. There was an incident right after they graduated high school that sent each girl in a separate way as she handled the trauma. They reconnect for a weekend at the beach and have to face what happened and face each other. 
This book is written where each chapter is from a different girl's perspective and honestly none of them are doing great. They each have dealt with the trauma in a different way, but none of it was healthy. This book is sad, and honestly to me didn't leave me feeling great. I didn't like any of the characters, and I felt like the friendships were terrible. 

While the book is very character driven I did see how it makes a great book club discussion, and I can see why people who like sad books would enjoy this.
