A review by noirbettie
The Last Summer of the Garrett Girls by Jessica Spotswood

5.0

A delightful, unexpected read. Because of the author’s anthologies (and my own lack of research before I one-clicked it), I was expecting this to be historical fiction. It’s not—but it’s timeless in the way that a good, quiet story should be. The Garrett sisters live in a small town. Everyone knows them and everyone know where they’ve been and where they’re going. They just need to figure out what they actually want for themselves.

I adore this book. I’ve seen the comparisons to Little Women—legit—and Gilmore Girls—disagree; if anything, it has a real Mystic Pizza vibe.
