Books I read

In Memoriam by Alice Winn

"Come here, that letter had said I need you. And Ellwood, obedient as ever, had enlisted instantly.

He wondered if Gaunt knew that he would do anything for him."

People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret roadmaps of their personal histories, diagrams of all of their old wounds. Most of our old wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them, don’t. Some wounds, we carry with us everywhere… and though the cut is long gone, the pain still lingers. What’s worse? New wounds, which are so horribly painful, or old wounds, which should have healed years ago, and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been, and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over… again.

Spoilers for We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, which I know is a nine-year-old book, but just in case.

I have consumed this book at least ten times, probably more since I read it or listen to the audiobook every summer and also read it like three or four times the year it came out, and every time, when Cady finds out about the dogs, there's this part of me that's like, "How about you just don't set the fire." but, you know, it's a book and therefore doesn't change and they do set the fire and obviously it's not just the dogs and I am again heartbroken and sad.

MARY FERNWEH.

“She was born for oceanside bonfires, long gauzy dresses and uncombed hair, the scent of salt like a blanket you can’t peel off your skin. She was born for the smell of water, for the way it sank into your bones, stained your skin, dyed your blood a deep, salty blue.”

— Katrina Leno, Summer of Salt

• ARC Review: The Summer Girl •

When it comes to beach reads, I’m the kind of person who wants something that will charm me. I essentially want a fizzy Taylor Swift song in book form: meet-cutes and banter and sparks and swoons – but also some spice and drama for good measure.

And I am extremely pleased to say that The Summer Girl fits the bill exactly.

The story follows Cassie, a rising college senior who is spending the summer with her grandmother and looking for a fling, and Tate, the local golden boy and town playboy who somehow never breaks a single heart. I related hard to Cassie’s social awkwardness and rambling ways, and absolutely adored Tate – he may be a blond, but you’ll love him anyway.

While this book is largely a swoony, sexy, summer neighbors (!!)-to-lovers story, there is a dose of family drama, as Cassie’s mom is a textbook narcissist, and Elle Kennedy highlights the mental and emotional labor that dealing with a narcissist takes on everyone around them – but especially their family.

Though The Summer Girl is the third book in Elle Kennedy’s Avalon Bay series, it definitely can be read as a standalone – and honesty, I think it’s my favorite of the series.

It’s cute, it’s fun, it has banter and sparks and spice. All in all, it’s what I’d call a perfect beach read.

☀️A huge thank you to St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy! The Summer Girl is out on July 18th!⛵️

Memories are immortal. They’re deathless and precise. They have the power of giving you joy and perspective in hard times. Or, they can strangle you. Define you in a way that’s based more in other people’s tucked-up perceptions than truth.
