April Reads (15)



2-STARS 

**Summerwater (Fiction, S. Moss)

Sarah Moss wrote an amazing memoir of her time living in Iceland called 'Names for the Sea'.  So I was excited to pick up this little big.  And then was big time disappointed.  There was ZERO dialogue in this book.  Each chapter was told from a different perspective of a person staying at a cabin park in Scotland.  It's like one giant stream of consciousness.  

3-STARS
