A review by jen_nej
The Summer Pact by Emily Giffin

emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This was a light read despite the heavier themes. My main issue with this book is that it didn't make me feel anything. I wasn't connected to the characters in any way. They all felt like archetypes rather than humans. Similarly, I think serious topics (suicide, alcoholism, racism, sexism, etc.) are treated with very broad strokes. Again, not a bad read just not something that I think will stick with me.
