A Truly Perfect Summer Read (But Bring Tissues)
5 Words: Family, friendship, love, sisters, loss.
The cover lead me to think I was going to read about summer shenanigans, that it'd all be fun and rose-tinted and wonderful...
And it was wonderful.
But it was also utterly heartbreaking.
It was quite hard for me to read this book at times. This could have been me and my two sisters if the ambulance hadn't arrived so quickly, and that hit so close to home that I ended up in tears a few times and even had to put the book down and step away.
The relationships between the sisters are absolutely perfect. They love each other, but they also snipe away at each other and nit-pick and tease. I loved the mother-daughter relationships too, with the care and affection and the misunderstandings. This family was real.
