The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams
2.0
Kinda boring and not especially well written - one might call it wordy for the sake of being wordy. I didn't enjoy the characters for the most part, and the plot has one too many "I can't have him but at least our love bore fruits" for me to be able to ignore.
Lastly, as a portuguese woman, I can attest to the names being out of place for a community of immigrants (not a João around, weird surnames and names that indeed exist, but are really uncommon). Every time the author spoke of the portuguese culture and tradition I rolled my eyes.
Now, for the positive parts, I was curious and interested for a while after the murder took place, and I enjoyed Joseph and Miranda's relationship in the past timeline.
