Life without Summer - Lynne Griffin
Summer is a sweet girl you get to know through two womens diary style entries. I thought it was a great read, albeit a bit sad. Almost too sad. I think the focus got lost somewhere in the middle of this novel and while I trudged on, because I’m used to reading this style of writing because I spend hours reading blogs, if you don’t like short chapters (in the form of diary entries) this may be a consideration on whether or not you will like this one.
I am a mother and this one hit a bit too close to the mother bone within me. Thankfully my son is 16 and not 4 like the victim in this novel. The lost child. It’s tough to read at times.
While I would not call this a beach read, but I read it while sitting in on a teleconference between Tampa and Phoenix. That long 3 hour conference flew by because I was so thoroughly engaged in this novel. I look forward to more from this author. I wasn’t fully thrilled by this one, but it was able to entertain me.
