Hello my lovely readers! Ever read a book that sounded PERFECT but then was complete let down? Yup, that's this book for me. Let's get into it.
SYNOPSIS
Five friends from university; seven summer days in a cabin in rural Denmark. A chance to swim, sunbathe, flirt, read and mess around like in the old days.
At least that’s what Sylvia had hoped. But when her friends arrive with real jobs, kids and partners, Sylvia is left wondering what happened to the radical ways of living they embraced at university. Worse, Esben and Karen announce their plan to get married at the end of the week, striking a blow to Sylvia’s simmering, decades-long crush on Esben – a crush that her monogamous girlfriend Charlie would definitely not approve of.
Whilst the group swim, sunbathe, cook and flirt their way to midsummer night, desire and anxiety swirl in equal measure. As the wedding day approaches, will they achieve their arcadian dreams or will everything come tumbling down?
This book was right up my alley, but it definitely wasn't my cup of tea.
I'm not a fan of spice, especially right off the bat and that serves no purpose to the plot. It's a complete turn off, but I pushed through. Unfortunately.
The characters were insufferable and all over the place. I did like the brief bit about contemplating pregnancy as a working person, but that's it. I don't know why I pushed through and didn't DNF, but oh, well. I got a good vibe from the lake and the cabin though!
