The Summer of Letting Go by Catherine Dellosa
4.0
I have no words to describe how much this one surprised me (in a good way)
TSOLG is Catherine Dellosa’s recent release ft. a coming-of-age story of Kali and how she navigates her life after the passing of her favorite Uncle Drew.
I love how the author discusses grief in this book. There is no linear path to cope up with the loss of someone you love and in this one, Kali and the spirit of Uncle Drew worked together to fulfill their wishes before summer ends.
Aside from the discussion of grief, TSOLG also highlighted a budding romance between Kali and the owner of the tea shop where she is working part-time, Luca. The two bonded over their shared baggages in family matters and societal expectations. Love how their relationship is developed naturally and the romance did not overshadow the bond between Kali and Uncle Drew.
The only thing that I can say is a weakness (imho) of the book is its length. At 288 pages, it felt like the ending was a bit rushed. Overall, this is definitely a recommended read. 4stars!
