I loved everything about this book when I first heard about it. I loved the cover, the synopsis, and the promise of a great summer read. Unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me. I don't know if it was all of the POV's, but I never got hooked to the story. I definitely think this could be a great summer read for many people, just not for me. I wasn't even able to finish it.

Five Summers is a light, fun read that gives an experience much like watching a girly movie at the theater with your best friends. The multiple POVs were very clear and distinct and the dynamics within the friendships were relatable and true to those of real life female friendships. An enjoyable, summery story that fans of The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants will be sure to love! ( )

A very nice little story about friends remembering why they were friends in the first place. Predictable but enjoyable. The relationships were very realistic for the ages of the characters. ( )

Friendship, love, and fun are everything you look for in a summer, and in Five Summers you will get exactly that! It starts out at a camp where four girls, Jo, Emma, Maddie, and Skylar become best friends. During the summer’s there’s romance, drama, and lies that all comes back to haunt the girls at their reunion. There’s a new conflict every chapter that will make you want to read more. You willl be out of your seat by the very first chapter.
This book was overall amazing. The story related a lot to me and I think it would for other people too. The author did an amazing job describing all of the girls and their unique personalities. The camp the girls went to seemed like a really pretty place and I know this because the author describes the scenery perfectly. It was like a clear movie right in my head, and I never wanted to press pause. Five Summers is filled with emotion, comedy, and romance; it’s a great read for the summer or anytime. The author does an amazing job telling the girls stories from different points of view. This made the book so much more interesting and real because you actually know the girls. Five Summer is such a good read and it gives advice and laughs throughout the whole story. Even tough the plot is a little predictable, like the girl gets the guy, its still interesting and you do what to know the turn out. This book was very engaging and kept me on my tippy toes the whole entire time. Five Summers was a light and easy read.Its perfect for anyone who enjoys love triangle, boy drama, and a story about a close nit group of friends. ( )

I read this book in one night. I didn't fully know what to expect from this book and it surprised me right away. It's an extremely difficult thing to do to write from various view points, but Una LaMarche did it. And very well. I just love books that have well developed characters. And Five Summers had just that.
Jo, Maddie, Skylar, and Emma--four girls who come back together after years of being separated. But is this reunion weekend at their old summer camp going to be enough to air all the secrets and betrayals from summers past and heal them?
It kind of reminded me a bit of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Fours girl, summer time, and life tries to separate them and they fight their way back to each other. Pure gold.
What I loved most about this book was the element of real friendship. I don't read enough books that just are about friends. But I'm happy I changed it up.
If you like books about summer and friendship and ones with great writing, then Five Summers is for you. ( )
