Thanks to Aria and Aries and NetGalley for the opportunity to read The Summer Party by Rebecca Heath which i loved. Characters i loved and a couple i enjoyed disliking. A terrific story written in a voice i found appealing. Extra points for such a killer ending.

I'm a sucker for families with deep-rooted secrets and atmospheric settings. The Summer Party promised all of that, but it just didn't click with me. I didn't connect with the protagonist, and the writing just didn't keep me hooked. Since I loved the premise, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the author's future books to see if they're a better fit.
