Girls of July

by Alex Flinn

[Sam@WLABB]

Four very different young women, looking for an escape, find themselves sharing a cabin in the mountains. At first, they only seem to see their differences, but as they take the time to scratch beneath the surface, they find they share a lot more than just pierced ears.

This was such a lovely story of friendship and finding your inner strength. Each young woman was dealing with something, be it scholastic pressure, an absent parent, a scandal, or an illness, and they were trying to take a break from their situation. Maybe running wasn't necessarily the answer to their problems, but it gave them the space to gain a new perspective on their lives, as well as on the way they view many things.

Things I loved:
• The friendship
• Grandma Ruthie
• The setting - it was beautiful!
• Romance with the boy next door
• A love, who wouldn't give up and his Latin letters
• Board games
• The search for lost love

The page count comes in a bit high for a contemporary romance, but Flinn had a lot of story to tell, and I didn't really feel like there was anything I would cut. I am happy that I got to spend this July with this wonderful group of young women, who took the month to explore and reclaim themselves.
