A review by ratgrrrl
A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry

emotional hopeful sad slow-paced

4.0

My listening to this out of all the things on Audible and in my library was such a random chance, quite literally as I actually rolled dice as I wasn't sure what to read next, and I am so very glad that I did. I mistakenly assumed this was going to be a mediocre Audible Original (No shade, there are some bangers), not realising this was a novella from the seventies.

I'm going to try and write more of a review another time, but for now this was a heartfelt, joyous, imperfect, and a little too twee, but lovely story that really spoke the the little sad girl in me. This is a book I would never have read by choice and I would have missed out.
