Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

3.0

This was good. Well-written, atmospheric, bittersweet. My complaints are mostly ones that prove I'm not the audience for this book. The parents were awful, the girls lie and keep secrets constantly and while I know that's not totally unrealistic, really, how stupid are these parents? And then it was a book about grief, which made it feel very sad and heavy and I was just not in the mood for that exactly. Anyways, I liked it, but not enough to justify more than three stars.
