REVIEW
That Summer is a story of two Diana’s, their friendship, their past, and their future. The story is both heartbreaking and hopeful.
Author Jennifer Weiner”s writing hooks readers with an idyllic summer story that turns into something dark. She meticulously builds drama, while effortlessly juggling two main characters. The immersing dialog and the detailed descriptions make the story come alive. The food and cooking descriptions and the vintage clothing ensembles concocted by Beatrice are particularly intriguing. It's a perfect done-in-a-day, beach read.
Weiner has captured a realistic story that will speak to many women. It’s a story of the effect of an assault kept secret, and the power and impact of revenge. Thanks to Netgalley for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
