All the Summer Girls

Publisher: Harper Audio
Genre: Fiction
Source: Library

Goodreads: In Philadelphia, good girl Kate is dumped by her fiance the day she learns she is pregnant with his child. In New York City, beautiful stay-at-home mom Vanessa is obsessively searching the Internet for news of an old flame. And in San Francisco, Dani, the aspiring writer who can’t seem to put down a book–or a cocktail–long enough to open her laptop, has just been fired… again.

In an effort to regroup, Kate, Vanessa, and Dani retreat to the New Jersey beach town where they once spent their summers. Emboldened by the seductive cadences of the shore, the women being to realize how much their lives, and friendships, have been shaped by the choices they made one fateful night on the beach eight years earlier–and the secrets that only now threaten to surface.

Ope’s Opinion: This was just an okay story. I never really felt like the three girls were very good friends to each other. They kept a lot of secrets that I would have thought real friends would have shared.

When the secrets came out, each one seemed extremely upset, as they should have been. Then they each seem to get over it very quickly without really understanding what made the change of heart.

The ending was kind of weird. A lot of things were solved, but a lot of things were still left hanging. It needed an epilogue, another chapter or something to finish it.
