SUMMARY
When Documentarian, Abbie Sinclair suffers a tragic loss while shooting one of her films, she finds it hard to move on and even harder to return to work. But when her best friend, Celeste suggest staying with some of her relatives in the quaint New England town of Stargazey Point, Abbie can’t resist and thinks it might be the perfect place to heal and recharge. Torn apart by hurricanes, the town of Stargazey Point is slowly dwindling away into nothingness as most of the people of the town move away to what they hope to greener pastures, but there are still some people who love the town and refuse to go. Cabot Reynolds used to spend his summers in the town helping his uncle run his business along the town’s pier and now as an adult, has taken up the business now that his uncle has died. While she stays there, Abbie makes friends with the locals and learns to love them like family and finally be able to heal both her body as well as her mind.
MY REVIEW
When I first read the blurb on the back of the book, I thought it sounded like the perfect book to read this summer, but to be completely honest, I had a hard time reading this book and a even harder time finishing the book. To be frank: it’s just not my kind of book. There was nothing thrilling or suspenseful (nor did I expect any with this kind of book), but there was also no romance, which I found kind of odd since I felt the setting of the book would have been the perfect place for maybe a summer romance. For the most part, I thought that the dialogue was well written, but thought the characters were lacking in that there were clear character backgrounds that were introduced and I had a hard time imagining what the characters looked like since there were no clear character descriptions. One last thing that I felt was missing was the conflict going on with the main character, Abbie Sinclair who lost someone she was close to while filming one of her documentaries. The curious part of me really wanted to know what happened there and what the relationship was between the deceased and Abbie.
My rating: 2/10
Sufficed to say, I wasn’t pleased with this book, but I hope this goes without saying, that this is just one person’s opinion, not the ONLY opinion and if you or anyone you know have read the book, I would love to hear from you and find out what you thought about it.
