The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls by Jessica Spotswood
4.0
If you're looking for a light-hearted, witty, summery read, The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls ticks all the boxes. It follows four sisters one summer as they try to plan their futures and discover who they truly are.
We have Bea, who's struggling with breaking up with a long-term boyfriend; Des who's always the responsible who just wants to rebel; Vi, who's openly gay and falling in love with the girl next door; and Kat, whose fake relationship starts to feel a bit too real.
The novel is written from each of their individual perspectives, following their independent story arcs, which is so cool! I thought things would get confusing, but Spotswood has written four characters who are so completely different from each other that it's impossible to mix their stories up. They're all so loveable, and I felt like the story was quite relatable in terms of having three siblings to compete with!
This was so well-written, and definitely the cute little pick-me-up I needed! 4 stars!
