A review by cameronreads
The Summer of Everything by Julian Winters

2.0

I’m so sorry but I couldn’t get past the writing style. It’s so clearly a millennial trying to sound like a Gen Z and ending up picking the cringiest bits of both. It made the dialogue feel so unrealistic and I just could not get behind the characters. There’s also the ‘I love my best friend who has given me no reason to think telling him would ruin our friendship so I’m going to spend the whole book gearing up to telling him oh woe is me’ which I find annoying. I think some of the characters, conversations and plot lines had a lot of promise though, but just were let down by the above.
