The Summer We Buried by Jody Gehrman
4.0
"Maybe everyone is complicated, and jumping into their mess is the price you pay if you don’t want to be alone."
The story started 20 years ago, with Tansy and Selene 18 and 29.. Their friendship blooming through shared secrets in the Summers and ends quite abruptly with a tangle of guilt of covering up a shared crime..
After 20 years, the dark end of the best summer of her life still haunts Tansy and when Selene shows up quite literally in her office asking for repayment, Tansy knows its not gonna end well.. Because try as she might, she will never get over the intoxicating and Moody presence of Selene Rathbone.
When I started reading the book, I did not think i will actually like it. The Blurb was intriguing enough, quirky hypnotic characters, long shared secrets and friendships.. But it didn't have a lot of mystery, it was obvious and probably overused.. But by almost 30% of the book, it didn't matter because basically it's not a thriller but it's a psychological minefield. The characters, their dynamics and everything happening around was not only hypnotic but also actionpacked and very engaging. All the characters were well written and interesting and i was invested in knowing more about their story. Even the slow burn which i usually hate, made for a perfect weekend gateway for me..
Thank you Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for the E-ARC
