A review by bookedbymadeline
The Summer Before by Dianne C. Braley

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

The writing style isn’t working for me and my own tastes. The writing is choppy and repetitive, plus the dialogue feels unnatural/forced. There’s a lot of telling through the dialogue as opposed to showing. I really wanted to like this book and sounded up my alley but the writing style just isn’t for me
