MY REVIEW
I devoured Summer’s Edge in one day, completely gripped by the story. At the beginning I thought the premise was interesting and I was enjoying the tension-building and hints that everything was not was it seemed on the surface.
First let’s talk about relationships! For someone who isn’t the biggest fan of love triangles this book managed to include a bunch in the BEST WAY! Jealousy and tension and I LOVED the commentary on not putting other women down in the regard. So refreshing!!! With both a lesbian and bi MC, it was nice to see the causal representation and how it worked in the dynamic of the group with no issues. Everyone seemed to want the person just outside their grasp.
However, romance is definitely not at the forefront of this story. There are important discussions on grief, friendship, toxic friendships, and loyalty that really added depth to what could have been just another YA thriller (trust me it was NOT) the supernatural twists were just enough to shake things up but the author also kept the story grounded. I have to admit at some points I was out loud asking “wait what???” I literally didn’t know who to trust— Unreliable narrators all around. The twists and unexpected reveals? Wow! I was so so so satisfied with the ending! This was the perfect creepy atmospheric read with emotional depth and lots of shocking turns! This book will definitely be haunting my thoughts for a while.
5/5 stars!
