Her Last Summer- Blog Tour
I had vowed I would never get back into the water, but of course, this was always going to be the outcome. I never really had a choice.
When out of work actress Rey Levine is offered her dream acting role, she knows she has to make it work. But there’s a catch: the film calls for Rey to swim, something she hasn't done since her last fateful summer holiday fifteen years ago. The summer her sister disappeared…and everyone blamed Rey.
Rey will do anything to block out the painful memories, but it means her current life is in freefall – drink and men her drugs of choice.
With her first dip in the cool water, Rey thinks she’s found the perfect escape. But as the water holds her, old memories float to the surface, forcing Rey to remember the terrible summer she’d rather forget.
But someone doesn't want the truth to surface. Not now, not ever... And they're prepared to ruin Rey's life all over again.
I well written book that kept me engaged.
We follow Rey's story as it is dual time and at the start we get teased into what it happening. The start does thread into why Rey is scared of water including the present and we get flashbacks of the past.
You could palpably read that how Rey's childhood and the disappearance of her sister, the guilt her family put her through had an impact in to her adulthood. Rey has many vices as she battles through her emotions. You can tell she is trying to get over some of her fears but hits hurdles along the way.
I liked how the author did not shift too far from Rey, so you really got to know her and see her character develop.
This is not a fast paced book which is not a bad thing, it eases itself into to the plot and was an easy read.
A worthy psychological read!
