When Matthew is invited to spend the summer with his rich cousin's family, he assumes it will be a stress-free vacation. He's wrong. The secrets are revealed with perfect pacing, and the family dynamics are described realistically. The main action of the novel is slightly predictable, but it's there for plot advancement, not shock value, which works in its favor. My only real complaint is that the very end is slightly anticlimactic.

Reviewsbylola I'm so glad to read a positive review for this one! I almost skipped it because it has mostly negative reviews on litsy but I loved it. The setting and the characters set a time that really worked for me. 7y
