Riley, Alice and Paul are friends who grew up together in a small town in Maine. As teenagers they promised to share everything, but now, in their twenties, Riley is reeling from an incident, Alice is pulling away and Paul is a tangle of feelings, and each is drifting from the others. Over a summer back at home, they confront their relationships, their fears about growing up and the secrets that separate them, in a story told in turns from their points of view.
Readers who like novels on friendship and young adulthood, with a nostalgic summer atmosphere, will find it relatable. It is by the author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Practical, inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
