It feels slightly wrong that this book is publicised as a beach read. That Summer is far from being lighthearted. It has a lot of heavy and weighted themes and topics which I don’t think anyone should read if they are not ready. I wouldn’t have gotten into it in the first place if I’d known. I only finished it because it played in the background whilst I was doing chores. 

Jennifer Weiner really has a way with writing (white) women. I really empathised with both Daisy and Diana and I was feeling with them every step of the way. 

Bumping my rating down because the ending was too fantastical and hasty for a book that was trying to address many issues. 

Bonus: food descriptions!!!!
