Wow. Just finished the book. I wasn't able to put it down for the last 50-70 pages....and found myself skimming a lot just to find out what happened in the end. The book started out slow and strange and I didn't know where it was going. Then, it got really interesting, even though the situations were unfamiliar. (i.e. a lot of cocaine usage) But, it was a well-told story and included a lot of soul-searching of the characters. I re-read the first 30-50 pages when I was in about two-thirds of theAddresses suicide in a beautiful way... I wish everyone who was feeling that way could read a few of the lines arguing for waiting...
I always wanted to read this book ... It's quite lovely, old-fashioned in a way, not too too plotty, "character-driven," perhaps, w/ever that means. It reminded me a little of an over-long "Daniel Martin," which I remember as being pretty long itself. I like young love stories about three people ... true love ;)
It was good, but I thought it dragged on a bit. It could have been condensed. The characters were well portrayed, but I couldn't really relate to any of them. I guess that is why I didn't really LOVE the book because I thought the characters all made stupid mistakes or choices. Overall though, it was very well written and captivating.
Characters were interesting enough to finish the book,but lots of foul language and drug use,once you got past those things it was an ok read.
This bittersweet coming of age tale told in masterful prose centers around a love triangle between Adam, Jane, and Cary three naive teenagers from North Carolina who start out as life long friends but who run into big trouble when they become mesmerized by a group of older glamorous people who arrive to run a flashy resort on the Outer Shore. Not much plot here, but plenty of angst, drug use, and sex, in this story of friendship, love , betrayal, and disillusionment . If one summer could be
