The Last Book Party by Karen Dukess
4.0
What a pure delight! I have a soft spot for books that take place in New England and this one was no exception. Taking place in Cape Cod over the summer of 1987 where Eve gets drawn into the world of literary great Henry Grey, his family, and the artistic crowd that also summers in the Cape, this one is the perfect 'summer' read for anyone who loves New England and books.
I was completely engrossed in this one and I loved the literary references, the romantic drama (that didn't feel cheesy) and the coming of age feel the story had. I thought Dukess did a great job of writing a story that had plot points that easily could have felt cliche but she wrote them in a way that didn't.
