So far, so good on my summer reading list! I finished Commencement by J. Courtney Sullivan in about three days, giving me a head start on the rather lengthy More Than You Know.
Commencement follows the college and post-college lives of four girls who meet at Smith College and become inseparable. Figuring out relationships, dating, your first big girl job, I felt the characters were pretty relatable. Maybe a little extreme at times, but for the most part, I could identify in a way with each character.
You are able to gain insight into each of the four girls chapter by chapter and I enjoyed hearing a girl’s story from her friend’s point of view and then hearing it from the girl herself’s eye. It reminded me of an often repeated saying of my favorite high school English teacher, “Perception is reality.”
The tales and journeys were gripping and while I wasn’t crazy about the ending (I felt it was a little rushed in tone compared to the rest of the book), I thought it would be a good beach read…or in my case, a bus read!
Let’s stay in touch!
