Early readers of The Lost Summer have posted some kind reviews on Goodreads.
Jackie, a bookseller at The Tattered Cover in Denver, Colorado, said:
I don’t think I can find the words for how very much I loved this book. McNees worked from several biographies and Alcott’s own journals to create this fictionalized account of a rumored love affair that the intensely private L.M.A. covered up. In these pages blooms the walking, talking inspirations for the characters in Little Women and some of Alcott’s other books. It is at once very familiar and very new, and every page was riveting for me–I lost a lot of sleep to this book. . . .
Erin of Marion, Iowa said
. . . Using thorough research plus thoughtful imagination Kelly paints a season of wanting, hurting, jealousy and repression with moments of tenderness and simple pleasures. Every person who reads Lost Summer will come away a little lighter in the tear ducts but richer in the heart . . .

These people have very good taste. Not surprising that one of them is an Iowan.
These reviews make me wish April was here.
Keep an eye on your mailbox, Gina!
Super Sweet!
Thanks.
