My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The movie trailer for Labor Day led me to want to read the book. The teen voice was unflinchingly honest and authentic though limited in it’s viewpoint. As a result the book is not as romantic as one might presume from the movie trailer. Still it was an interesting story with compelling characters and a surprising amount of suspense. I enjoyed the read for the most part.

“This was one thing the two of them could agree on – my mother and Frank: that it was hard going out into the world” (p. 21).

“I am your prisoner, Adele, was what he said to her” (p. 93).

“Even a dog would know – maybe a dog, most of all – that Eleanor wasn’t the type of person you’d want to hang around more than absolutely necessary” (p. 228).
