BY LESLEY KAGEN
NARRATED BY HILARY HUBER
❐ Overall Rating 3.5 | 5 Narration❐ Literary Fiction❐ Coming-of-age❐ With a splash of mystery❐ Three friends and their adventures in the Summer of 1960
First off, I love the cover and I loved Hilary Huber's narration...in fact, I always love her narration. Those two things are what sealed the deal for me to give this book a try.
This book is compared or likened to Where the Crawdads Sing and I can see that. They both have a historical setting of the 1960s. Both have a splash of mystery. Also, they both deal with prejudices. Plus, they both have a kind of slow-burning pace, with really memorable endings. Although, WTCS has more going on throughout the story to keep you invested in the story, overall. ENAT doesn't really have that...at least I didn't feel that it did.
While the ending got a little intense and was even a little bit jaw-dropping...I just didn't feel that it was worthwhile enough to make me forget how bored I was with the story up until the ending. I'm certain there will be lots of readers/listeners who love this story just the way it is, though.
