Customer Reviews

A fast entertaining read that was hard to put down....

I really enjoyed "River of Summer". I loved watching the relationship between Paul and Zoe bloom. My main problem with this book was that I wanted more from Paul. I wanted to get into his head. I also felt that he was a bit immature and cant help wondering if someday his behavior will begin to grate on Zoe's nerves. I will say that I found him to be sexy, but he just wasnt what Id I personally go for.I also thought that Zoe treated him harshly at times and I sincerely felt like I wanted to jump into the story and shake some sense into her. All in all this was a good solid read. Even though it didnt quite make it onto my keepers shelf, I would still recommend it.

good book

Well written book. Didn't want to put it down. Especially liked the ending. Discovering things you didn't know about your family after a death may be universal but is seldom discussed.

pretty good novel about healing and learning to love again

Zoe Harper escapes a bad marriage and goes cross country in a Winnebago. Along the way she meets, Paul, a good looking young man, 11 years her junior. They share some adventures and along the way,as her attraction for him grows, she tries to put some trust into this shocking new relationship.This was a very pleasant read. I felt for both characters. I liked the fact that Zoe was pretty independant and I liked the fact that Paul, himself, was carrying around some emotional baggage.It was a quick, but satisfying read, and in the end Zoe does discover what's very important to her.
