Customer Reviews

Enjoyable; too many characters

I really enjoyed this book. Easy beach read and the characters were relatable. Everyone was connected in some way and everyone had secrets. I gave it 4 stars only because of the amount of characters being so many. At times it was difficult to keep track of everyone.

Summer Read of the Rich and Entitled

Thank you to Bookish First and Random House for this book in exchange for an honest review. I would honestly rate this book between 2 and 3 Stars, but that’s still not an option on goodreads even in 2018. The High Season by Judy Blundell was a read I thought would be completely up my alley. It slightly missed the mark. There were many characters to follow— almost too many. So some characters were extremely developed and others became background pieces that would just pop up every now and again. While I felt for Ruthie, I found myself wondering about some of her choices. Especially her one to plan anything with Lucas, who was despicable and just awful. While I am rating it “lower”, I do think there will be people who enjoy this book. I think I was just expecting something a little different.
