Book Review



Great summer read! I finished this one last Thursday and I really enjoyed it. It was easy to get into and hard to put down. It was one that I would've liked to read on the houseboat in Lake Powell or at Bear Lake. It's set mainly on a little island off of New York. It's a story of relationships. Two sisters, Alice and Riley, who spend every summer on Fire Island with thier best friend Paul. They grow up and the story becomes entwined with love, guilt, self-punishment, passions, secrets, tragedy and loyalty. There is alot to say about a book that makes you think about the relationships in your own lives and helps you understand them a bit better. The loyalty and love between Alice and Riley is so strong that it's impossible to be completely honest with eachother. Neither one wants to wrong the other. The bonds of sisterhood are more improtant than any other, even if it is irrational, you do what you have to do to protect that.

Three Stars.
