The Summer Place: A Novel

I love a family drama and this had great characters but it got silly.

I love Jennifer Weiner books! This one had a TON of characters to remember and very long chapters in the beginning. There were quite a few, “Oh shit no way!” moments that made me laugh. And of course a few great love scenes. I really liked the spectrum of personalities and dynamically different histories. Now I want a lobster Cobb salad.

This book was way too long and it appeared that the author tried to build her book on all the hot topics in the headlines failing to endear me to any one character

I didn’t love this book. The story line was farfetched. The character switching from Veronica to Ronnie was hard to follow as well. The chapters were really long for the first 3/4ths of the book. The story did pick up for the last 15% of the book. Not my favorite though.
