A review by lilylikesbooks
The Summer Place by Jennifer Weiner

2.0

Okay…..I know I rented this as a subway, interstitial read. But the degree of tomfoolery in this book is unmatched. One character suffers enough soap opera machinations for a single book, let alone all, what, seven characters?? Poor Sam has his wife tragically die in a car accident, he adopts her son, stumbles across Harry-Draco fanfic and realizes he’s gay, has sex with a man for the first time and…you guessed it! The man he has sex with (and immediately falls in love with) is the just-jilted fiancée of his 23 year old niece. You can’t make this shit up! Unless you’re Jennifer Weiner, I suppose. TOMFOOLERY
