Be True to Me by Adele Griffin
Be True to Me by Adele Griffin

Goodreads says, "It's the summer of 1976 on Fire Island, where feathered hair and the Bicentennial celebration reign. Jean, a sometimes cruel, often insecure, and always envious rich girl, is accustomed to living in her glamorous older sister’s shadow. So when Gil Burke, a handsome newcomer with uncertain ties to one of the most powerful families in the exclusive enclave of Sunken Haven, notices Jean—not her sister—Jean is smitten. Then Fritz, a girl from outside the gilded gates who humiliated Jean in the Island’s tennis championship last year, falls for Gil herself. Soon the girls are competing for much more than a tennis trophy, with higher stakes than either of them can imagine. Told through the alternating perspectives of Jean and Fritz, as they experience feeling like an outsider and first love. "This one sounds like such a fun summertime read, right? It will be in my beach bag for sure! I've read Griffin in the past (Picture the Dead) and really enjoyed her work. Plus, I love that this takes place in 1976! What do you guys think?
Interesting... I don't know of many books set in the 1970s! Probably because it *was* a little too recent, but not anymore I suppose. Goodness, forty years ago. o_o I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week. :)
Check out my WoW post!
I know, right!?! But now it's considered historical fiction! Time flies! Thanks for visiting Alyssa!
DeleteI loved Adele Griffin's Tighter when I read it a few years back, but I haven't read another of her books since then. This one sounds like a fun summer read!
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing Tighter was good. I really liked Picture the Dead. I am definitely excited for this one though--sounds like a great beach read. Thanks for visiting, Leanna, and I am glad you are back!
DeleteOhh I don't know about this one. Why do I get the feeling that the cruel sister will drive me nuts? I'll be on the lookout for your review!
ReplyDeleteHaha. That is a possibility! It should make for some good drama! Thanks for visiting, Joy!
DeleteI have this on my TBR, too. I'm already in the mood for beachy reads. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's a constant for me! haha. Thanks for visiting, Natalie!
