Our current book of the month!! The story follows two young (12 y/o-ish) girls who are summertime friends because both of their families have summer cottages that they go to each year for a few weeks.It is a classic coming of age story, zoomed in to viewing just a few weeks of this transitional period. This seems like their last summer as children, which is both heartbreaking and endearing to witness- there is a struggle with the girls because they are not quite old enough to do the things that they want to, want to be seen a certain way by an older teen crowd, but also aren't sure if they are too old for the things they did last summer or years past.
I read this book while at work, I could not put it down. Even though I didn't have the exact childhood as these characters, they are written in such an honest and relatable way, it was easy for me to reflect on my own time in those moments.
Such a wonderful, horribly nostalgic read. Funny, charming, honest and great.
