I pre-ordered my copy a long, long time ago, and when it showed up at my door almost two weeks before the release date, I couldn’t wait to start reading!
If you’re in the mood for a light, fun read, pick up The Swap!
With Lola and the Boy Next Door, I’ve seen again how wonderful Stephanie Perkins is at telling a story.
When it comes to contemporary reads, I’m pretty hit and miss, and while Can’t Look Away was good, I didn’t love it and I don’t think it will be one that stays with me.
Camp Utopia and the Forgiveness Diet is a funny, quirky book that I think will appeal to contemporary YA lovers.
All in all, this book lived up to my expectations for a twisty mystery.
Of course I’m going to keep reading the rest of the series – I’ve come this far, and there is apparently only one book left – but this book was a bit of a let down following Deadly.
Overall, if you are a contemporary lover, The Chapel Wars might be the kind of book you’ll love. Unfortunately for me, there was a lot of like but no love.
It does strain believability at times, but if you can push that aside and let yourself get caught up in the Saybrook ladies and their opulent lifestyles, this book can be a great, fun summer read.
