pithypants reviewed Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
Review of 'Big Summer' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Maybe it's pandemic fatigue, but I'm finding I've developed more tolerance (and appreciation) for chick-lit in the last year. This was a solid effort, as evidenced by the fact that I knocked it out in two days.
This book pleasantly surprised me in a few ways – probably because the publisher's description deliberately led me to believe it would be a clichéd beach read. I won't give more detail for risk of spoiling the fun, but this book had a few twists I didn't see coming.
My only criticism: there were a couple sex scenes that felt unnecessarily overly descriptive. I'm not prudish, so they didn't offend me, but they seemed ill-calibrated with the rest of the writing.
