It's Kyla Denonio and you're watching Kyla's reading day. So today we're talking about the book The Summer Place. This book was written by Jennifer Weiner. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is literature. This one's gonna have a lot more spoilers than usual because we got to do a family trade. So Ronnie and her husband they have some twins Sarah and Sam. Sarah gets married to Eli. They have two boys but Eli already has a daughter Ruby. Ruby's mom Annette is gone. She just she didn't want to be a mama. They let her free. So then you have Sam. Sam is a little sweetie. He ends up with Julie. Julie has a son. This is the plot twist to end our plot twist. The book is about the house. I should have known. The prologue talks about the house and how it creaks and how it settles. I should have known. So you're reading the book and you're just like oh my goodness look at their life. Oh my gosh. And then at the end when they talk about someone's dirt and ashes fall into the crevices of the house and the house is like oh you're back. Oh to give emotion to an animate objects and I should have known the summer place. It's a place is a house. It's a dwelling. It's a unit. It's an inanimate object. I'm reading it. I'm like wow you know she's feeling like the house is a a friend. She walks around she's talking to the wall. She's doing this. No child the house is recounting the stories of everything that's been happening of all the people who lived in the house and their lives they're such a story to their lives. You know I'm reading the book and I'm rooting for Sarah and I'm like the grandparents don't understand you got your kids and all these activities they just don't get it. But Sam is the breakout star. Sam needs his own book. Jennifer Weiner please give us another book about Sam. Sam is the man. So it was really important that the story is about the house and all the memories the house has seen and how it's been full of people. It hasn't been full of people and the different dynamics of the house. That was that was really telling it was really sweet right. I'm sitting in my first house ever filming and I'm thinking like oh what happened when someone left here before and where the walls painted this color you know what I mean. So that's a really cool dynamic that the book was actually about all of the memories that have happened within the house right. So would I reread this book? No because I can't I cannot I would never forget Sam. Sam is written on my heart and let me know have you read anything by Jennifer Weiner. I would be surprised if you have not. She is an absolute rock star. She has written multiple, multiple, multiple books. She always has great covers and you know I'm about to send her for a cover. I've read I've seen the movie in her shoes. I've read Mrs. Everything which was really good about sisters. Oh Big Summer excellent I should I should do a review on Big Summer. So yeah that was today's review of The Summer Place. Really great storytelling really great character development so I will see you next time.
