This book is a light summer read with vivid characters, but not many surprises. I read it quite quickly since it’s a page turner. Meaning easy to read and easy to get into. But I did not enjoy it very much because it is not my type of book. There was an attempt to go into depth with a lot of tragedy and tough conditions, but I was not convinced by the story. One gets quickly into the personality of the characters which are at first nicely described, but then the writer does not go into depth and I felt it all remained superficial. If one is into beach stuff and tabloid stories this might be the right choice. But for me it was just ok. A nice short lived entertainment.
