Publisher Description
A riveting tale of romantic suspense with a shocking twist ending set within the gates of a Fire Island colony of the super rich.
Jean, a privileged, sometimes cruel, often insecure, and always envious girl, is accustomed to living in her glamorous older sister’s shadow. So when Gil Burke, a handsome newcomer with uncertain ties to one of the most powerful families in the exclusive enclave of Sunken Haven, notices Jean, she is smitten. Then Fritz, a girl from outside the gilded gates who humiliated Jean in the island’s tennis championship last year, falls for Gil herself. Soon the girls are competing for much more than a tennis trophy, with higher stakes than either of them can imagine.
Through the alternating perspectives of Jean and Fritz against a backdrop of sunbathing, lobster bakes, and the Bicentennial summer, Adele Griffin captures the angst of feeling like you don’t belong and the urgency of first love with masterly prose and a sharp, intricate wit perfect for fans of E. Lockhart’s We Were Liars.

The book was good. There were some parts where I could feel the sense of defeat which had amazing description/ sensory details & it really made me feel like I was in the story, but it also was sometimes a drag to read. I’m not really much of a reader so when parts get lengthy & i’m not seeing the point of it, I’m not in the mood to finish reading. After those parts though, I was in for a ride. I was reading chapter to chapter trying to figure out what happened next. I overall loved it except for the drag parts.
