The summer girls

I did not enjoy this story, it had promise yes, but, it somehow did not leave me satisfied, I kept wanting to hear more about the two other sisters , and the boy in the story, however the true message was about alchoholism, it's effects on families , and the plight of Dolphins.
I think I was hoping for Southern charm, romance and life in the South.

Not a good story line or performance

As a southerner, it is so hard to listen to a bad fake accent. The storyline was choppy and I was left wondering how the characters faired.

Slow and dull.

I could not get into this story. It was soooo slow and boring. Ughghgh. The narrator's voice was not helpful either.
