A review by maryreadstoomuch
The Summer We Buried by Jody Gehrman
4.0
Pub date: March 8, 2022
In one sentence: Tansy and Selene were best friends with a big secret, and twenty years later, Selene comes to ask for a favor related to her daughter Jupiter.
I love stories about female friendship and dual timeline thrillers, and this was such a fun read. I read it in one sitting curled up under a blanket on a cold night, and I recommend that you do the same!
Tansy is an interesting protagonist - as is common in psychological thrillers, she makes some poor choices that get her in trouble. When she says yes to Selene and starts to meet with Jupiter, you just know that this story is not going to have a happy ending. I enjoyed the tension that Gehrman built up in the story. The second half ramped up the action and also added some new secrets to build to an explosive conclusion. I guessed part of the ending, but there were enough surprises to keep me happy.
If you want a quick read thriller, I'd recommend this one!
