MaryannHornet | Mar 31, 2022 |    Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.His past memories are waxing nostalgic and he finds out not everything he thought about his summer love was as innocent as he thought. When he learns facts in the present from others who were there that summer, he seems to lose more control. At the same time, his life is unraveling--his second wife demands a divorce, his father appears to have advancing dementia, and Dan feels stuck in his job. All of this seems to bring on more than a mid-life crisis: he has a mental breakdown of sorts. While the end, at first glance, seems to wrap up the story, it leaves a lot of questions about his mental state and a possible abduction across state lines. I found myself not liking Dan because he didn't seem to do anything to help his situation and his downward spiral didn't really seem to end with the final pages of the book. **Received a review copy from LibraryThing** (  ) denise.m.holcomb | Jun 24, 2021 |
 I received this as an Early Reviewer Digital pdf. Don't know if this is typical but there were a lot of typos in the text. I could figure it out from the context but hadn't expected that. If your a kid of the 80's who spent summers at the Jersey shore then you will enjoy this book. Dan is spending his summer off from college working the front desk at a motel in Wildwood for the summer. Sharing an apartment with two college friends, they do all the stuff you would expect. Although Dan doesn't know that he's about to meet Cara and his life won't be the same. Flash forward 15-20 years to a mass shooting. Dan is now the editorial writer for a large Harrisburg PA newspaper. As the tragedy comes over the wire and the newsroom is riveted Dan recognizes one of the names, Cara. The story goes between the two time lines with some twists I didn't expect. There are lots of references to great 80's music and all the fun places down the shore. Overall a great fun beach read.
