I've fallen so far behind in my book reviews! Life towards the end of the school year gets busy and we've just had a fair amount of other things going on that this got pushed out. I apologize that the next several will be short. I need to catch up, so please bear with me!
I received this as an advanced reader's copy through Netgalley and truly enjoyed the book. I'm coming to realize that I prefer character-driven stories to plot-driven stories. I like reading about someone's life as a whole - their thoughts, aspirations, feelings, interactions, etc. This novel revolves around the summer house of a oil-wealthy family. It's been a bit since I read it but I would say it had a lot of good drama (as opposed to roll-your-eyes drama), deep characters, interpersonal conflict and resolution, and interesting family dynamics. Pick it up if you're looking for an immersive family story.
