That Summer by Jennifer Weiner
4.0
Jennifer Weiner once again returns to the shores of Cape Cod in her new novel. Last summer I read her novel [b:Big Summer|52755548|Big Summer|Jennifer Weiner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1585287049l/52755548._SY75_.jpg|73726844], which was also set on the Cape.
In this novel, we meet two women, Diana and Daisy, who first connect via an email sent to the wrong email address. Their email addresses have only one punctuation mark difference. The two women connect and meet up. Daisy is somewhat unsatisfied with her life in the Philadelphia suburbs and sees the older Diana as a having more exciting life as a business consultant. The two women strike up a friendship. But we learn, as pages go by that there is more that connects them than just their email addresses.
This is a another novel that speaks to the #metoo movement and how it has impacted the lives of everyday people. It talks about how a sexual assault can change the direction of a woman's life and always lingers in her mind. This was a very readable novel that was a bit heavier and more complex than standard "chick-lit" fare. I loved all the Cape Cod references. :)
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!
