Perry's The Summe...Enjoyed your review, Rachel! Perry's The Summer I Found You resonated with me in a big way and was actually one of my favorites on 2014. So I was super excited for this one. Unfortunately... I just had too many issues with it. I enjoyed the unique setting and some of the secondary characters, but I had zero connection with Clara. I agree that the real conflict was internal (not boys or colleges) but the waffling back and forth and refusal to make *any* decision - instead just letting things happen and then reacting - was very frustrating. I have The Stronger You Know and I hope to read that one soon and be reminded of what I love about Perry's writing.<br /><br />Tanya @ <a href="http://girlplusbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Girl Plus Books</a>Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278599449202171232.post-58567064554492927422015-09-09T11:21:53.893-04:002015-09-09T11:21:53.893-04:00What an interesting setting!

I also appreciate the fact that the conflict is more internal, more about who the character is and what she's capable of. I'm sorry to hear about your major reservations, but I'm glad you liked some aspects of it!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278599449202171232.post-72360613221599143452015-09-04T13:53:48.007-04:002015-09-04T13:53:48.007-04:00Wow going from Alaska to NYC would be quite the ch...Wow going from Alaska to NYC would be quite the change!! This sounds interesting, I hadn't heard of it before. I don't know if I like the teacher/romance/instalove aspect, but I do like the friendship and parental relationship you mentioned!! Great review!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288722022982656753noreply@blogger.com
