Een zomer om nooit te vergeten

[Jennifer Peterson · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book has one of the worst plots, worst endings, and misguided ideas about infidelity that I've ever read.

Intimate Strangers by Juliette Mead
Story of 2 families swapping houses for 2 months. One family from USA, other from UK. They each bring their whole family with them and
each has set up interesting things they think the other family will want to do when abroad.
Interesting to hear of the problems they each have as they are in uncommon situations. Just the things around the houses are so different than what they are used to.
Christy visiting in England is given free rein of the house and discovers Oliver's book and his thoughts and wonders if the events are true. Mystery around the book arises
and there is more to swapping than just their houses.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
