If you are looking for a story full of atmosphere, messy characters, and twisted sibling drama, Then These Summer Storms will have you hooked from the get-go.

I was all about the whole โ€œrich people behaving badlyโ€ plot and Aliceโ€™s individual relationships with her siblings. There was such a long history of hurt, resentments, lies, secrets and mistrust, and somehow this all worked to spur a lot of character growth from everyone in the story.

I also loved the infusion of snarky humor to go with all the emotion.

Julia Whelan did a phenomenal job bring a unique voice to each and every character.
