MVL Book Club #4

So I just finished reading Summer Rental by Mary Kay Andrews.

I won an autographed copy from The Lettered Cottage.

Wasn't that lucky? I was so looking forward to reading this because

it was about an old house at the beach and a bunch of girlfriends.

Well, this book is the perfect day at the beach book.

It's a very quick read. 

Three girlfriends that grew up together in Savannah get together to 

spend a month at a North Carolina beach in a big run down beach cottage.

They each come to the beach trying to leave behind personal problems and 

difficulties in their lives. 

They have an exciting month at the beach in which all their problems are

magical fixed as these things happen in books and movies.

Too bad real life doesn't go like this. 

In real life you go to the beach with a bunch of problems and when you get home 

from the beach you have even more problems.

I have to say this book was light and fluffy and slightly entertaining.

I'm sure a lot of people would love it.
It was very predictable. Everything I thought might happen, did.

It was not my sort of book.

I liked the premise for this book...I just wish it had been more.

I like my books a bit darker and more serious and or more quirky.
I did enjoy the setting. I could almost imagine staying at the shore in the big old house.

I am not saying don't read it because lots of you might enjoy it.

But myself....I kind of wish I had back those hours I spent reading it.

Don't forget to enter my Uprinting giveaway here.

I'm so excited about the canvas printing that Uprinting offers and can't wait to try it myself.
And they offer it in many different canvas sizes.
