“This is one of my favorite summer reads this year. Cape Cod in the 1970s comes to life in this witty, suspenseful coming-of-age novel. It has family secrets, New England scandals, political ambitions, loveable basset hounds, and mounting tension that reminds me of east coast thunder storms. Imagine a cross between a Donna Tart novel and a Wes Anderson film with writing so snarky, vivid, and poetic you’ll want to read aloud.
“Slip into some seersucker, pour a G&T, play some Vampire Weekend as a soundtrack, and treat yourself.”
— Tegan Tigani, Queen Anne Book Company in Seattle
If you want to add this to your summer reading list, Queen Anne Book Company and other indie bookstores can help.
Nice review, Tegan! I’d like to read this.
