A review by julesg
Summer at 23 The Strand by Linda Mitchelmore

3.0

This was a slow read for me. It took me a lot of time to get into the story - or should I say stories - and even then I had the feeling the dialogue was very stilted. At least, I have never had dialogues like that in all of my life - not with friends, nor with strangers. That was the biggest pet-peeve I had with this book. I liked the idea behind the book, I liked how that summer in Devon came with chance meetings and stories that went along with it, but I hated the dialogue and hence had a very hard time to connect with the characters.
