Book Review: Someone Else's Summer
Someone Else's Summer by Rachel Bateman
Goodreads Summary:
Anna's always idolized her older sister, Storm. So when Storm dies in a tragic car accident on the night of her high school graduation, Anna is completely lost and her family is torn apart. That is, until she finds Storm's summer bucket list and decides to honor her sister by having the best summer ever—which includes taking an epic road trip to the coast from her sleepy Iowa town. Setting out to do everything on Storm's list along with her sisters best friend Cameron—the boy next door—who knew that Storm's dream summer would eventually lead to Anna's own self-discovery?
My Review:
4/5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. I have an older sister that I pretty much idolize, so I could imagine the emotions of this loss. I also love lists and specifically bucket lists, so it was great to see Anna fulfilling something that was so special to her sister. I would hope my sister would do that in my case, but I'm not sure that would happen. It was a super quick read that although predicable for the most part there was a twist at the end that I did not see coming!!

I love the premise of the book! Like you, I really like bucket lists so I think it's great that it was incorporated into this! Just added this to my TBR; great review!
ReplyDeleteAww! I recently picked this one up and am thrilled to read you enjoyed this one. Love that it's a quick read too - those types of reads are my favorite. (Also exciting is that this is already going to be a film!)
