Book Review: A summer to forget
Summary: 3 Stars
If you're looking for another "Traveling Pants" sort of story, I'm sorry to say that this isn't it. Instead, the author of the famous and highly acclaimed series "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" aims for the heart, with a rather drawn out tale of two sisters, a guy who hasn't decided who he wants to be if he grows up, and life in Waterby, Fire Island.
Intended for adults, this book fails completely in that respect, especially as the main characters are all young adults, and even the few steamy parts come over with only a weak sizzle. Having said that, there's a very nice little story buried in here, about the close relationship between two sisters, Riley and Alice, and how this is affected when their close friend Paul returns to the island to pick up where he left off three years before. Things have changed, people have grown, and secrets long hidden start popping up, but it takes eons to develop, leaving the reader lots of time to walk on the beach and watch the ferry come and go.
In summary, this rather dry tale of sisterly love and growing up serves as a reminder that sometimes, life's a beach.
