Kaleidoscope Summer: Review

There are few things in my life that I have trouble keeping my hands off. One of those things is a book. Especially free books. I’ll peruse the Amazon freebies and download several at a time, thinking it’ll be no trouble swimming through the pages. This is a terrific way to introduce yourself to an author or style of writing you’ve never met before.

Recently, I downloaded Kaleidoscope Summer by Rita Garcia. This delightful book is written in first person, alternatively from the male (Logan Delatorre) and female’s (Samantha Forrester) point of view, in which they each tell their story of new beginnings, heartache, romance, and a little suspense.

Normally, I struggle with first person point of view. I can’t be sure why. But Rita’s conversational style of writing drew me in. It was as though Logan, Samantha, the other characters, and I had taken a seat around a table at the nearby coffee shop for some coffee, pastry and some story time. Each gave their input into what happened that summer and how each member of this community of Serenity Cove grew from all they experienced. Logan and Samantha shared more intimate details regarding their internal struggles. Logan had endured the deaths of his parents, and then his grandparents before his twentieth birthday. Samantha fought against feelings of rejection and un-forgiveness towards those she thought should’ve been more trustworthy.

Why would she feel that way? You’ll have to get KaleidoscopeSummer and find out.

Weaving words for the heart and soul.
