Hit the Beach with The Summer Pact

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC of The Summer Pact by Emily Giffin. I am a longtime fan of Emily Giffin and was so excited to read her latest book. On the positive side, this book drew me in immediately with the characters, Hannah from Atlanta, Summer from Chicago, Lainey from San Diego and Tyson the only male from DC. These four people meet in college and become friends. This book follows them after college through the twists, turns and disappointments of life. "Adulting" is hard and life is often messy but your true friends will see you through. The only thing I did not like about the book was the vacation they take when life brings some difficulties and disappointments. Perhaps showing my age, I found myself identifying with the parents in the book rather than the main characters. Despite all of these difficulties and disappointments in life, we have to keep going. Most people are not able to opt out for a three-week vacation to exotic locations.

However, I still enjoyed the characters and the story was engaging. This is the perfect book to put in your beach bag.

Until next time, keep turning those pages....
