I seriously can’t believe that October is only a few days away, mainly because it makes what I’m about to say completely embarrassing….I finally finished reading my first book of 2014. I have 110% missed reading this year but I’ve been too busy with KateOGroup to slow down enough to really read. I’m pretty sure I’ve started 6 or 7 books, I just haven’t finished any until now.
For my September book club meeting we read All the Summer Girls by Meg Donohue. Donohue is the author who wrote How to Eat a Cupcake; a book I read and loved last year, you can see the review here.
I just love Donohue’s style of writing, she really knows how to make her characters relatable and likable. Not mention, if you name one of your character’s Kate, you’re almost instantly guaranteed to make me a fan of your book!
All the Summer Girls is the story of three life long friends, who as normally happens have gone their separate ways, Kate, Dani and Vanessa. About 8 years before we meet them, the girls spent the summer before their senior year of college at Dani’s dad’s beach house. Each girl walked away from that summer carrying guilt they never discussed with one another over the death of Kate’s twin brother, Colin.
At 29, for the first time since that summer, the girls are heading back to the beach house to spend some time together reconnecting. Of course each girl is forced to deal with the demons they carry from that summer 8 years earlier.
All the Summer Girls is a quick and easy read. If you were a fan of How to Eat a Cupcake, you’ll be a fan of this one too.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can carve out enough time to read next month’s book club book before our meeting.
