Title: 5 Stars
Review: The Summer Fletcher Greel Loved Me depicts the life of Haley Ellyson and her Mr.Greel who together capture the story's unforgettable characters, sultry summer location, and timeless themes. Although many books claim to have unforgettable characters, Suzanne Kingsbury's meet and exceed this expectation. Through Fletcher Greel we see empathy and an uncanny understanding for life; Haley teaches us what it is like to young and on fire. The atmosphere in which the story unfolds also adds to the reality of the novel. The story takes place in a fictional town in the Deep South where scorching temperatures brew up racial conflicts. Haley and Fletcher's summer love, the secrets Haley keeps inside, and the cultural ties of the town's people all present themselves as major themes in the novel. We see these themes unraveling before us to an ultimate and tragic demise. Suzanne Kingsbury's novel pulls as all the heartstrings within us leaving us with a sense of loss and a yearning for more.
