this book is a really good summer read. it’s pretty slow paced; readers just keep getting more of the story unfolded to them. the past and present weave together beautifully to capture the full picture of the Riva family. I loved the style or revealing the past slowly to get the necessary context for the present. the book captures summer and all the drama of the 80s in a very entertaining way.
