Facing the Sun by Janice Lynn Mather
2.0
Read around the world project - The Bahamas
2.5 stars. I totally get the comparison to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This centers around four teenage girls living next to a local beach slated for commercialization in present-day Bahamas, covering a range of coming-of-age conflicts. I have to echo other reviewers and agree that all te voices tended to blend together, to the point that I was still double checking section headings 80% in to figure out who was talking. The pacing also swings between slow and fast, and felt very uneven across the book's 400 pages.
