Book Review of The Summerhouse (Summerhouse, Bk 1)

The Summerhouse (Summerhouse, Bk 1)
sari-lynn avatar reviewed on + 207 more book reviews


I don't usually read books of this genre, but I liked the premise of having an opportunity to go back to an earlier time, to redo a past mistake(s). And the author had received many favorable reviews. But the book was a disappointment. The writing was stilted and awkward - her words and sentences were without beauty or grace. Similarly, there was no subtlety in the way she discussed her characters. Everything was spelled out bluntly, as if she doesn't expect her readers to be bright enough to read between the lines. I will not be reading any of her other work.
