"I was vibing this book for the weekend, and I’ve been trying to read more based on my mood than what I have scheduled. Does that mean I keep forgetting to read my book club books? Yes, but I’ll get back on it when summer ends. We’ll call this my summer reading vacation!<br/><br/>This was very summery, and I liked the sisterhood lens. It was kind of run of the mill family dynamic, but since every family dynamic is different, I’m perpetually drawn to these kinds of stories. I’m sure if I read them all the time I’d get burned out, but this hit all the sweet spots without being overly dramatic.<br/><br/>I enjoy this author (this is my second by her) and I’m curious to read more! I’m quickly transported to the muggy Alabama landscape, which I admit I’ve not experienced a lot in actuality but I’m happy to live vicariously through these stories."
