review 1: Seven Days of Friday was an enjoyable read for the beach which is exactly where I was this past week. Even though there was drama, there was also love & adventure. Nothing too complicated to follow when your attention is easily taken by the view of the ocean, but it held my attention enough to keep picking it up. I liked how strong a character Vivi was, but even though I know the teenage angst and circumstances could be very real, I hated seeing what her daughter had to go through. At fifteen years old, especially. There were two lines in particular that I really liked & related to: "No matter what we wear, we are still who we are." and "The world gave you rocks and dry dirt, and still you survived." Great insightful thoughts to many of us, I'm sure. But what an adve... morenture to move back to your roots even when it involves moving to a foreign country!
review 2: I thoroughly enjoyed "Seven Days of Friday", a book written from three points of view: Vivi (mother), Melissa (daughter) and Max (a pediatrician in a Greek hospital). When Vivi's husband, John, leaves her for another man both Vivi and Melissa are distraught. In order to escape that particular drama, and the never-ending pressure from her overbearing Greek mother, Vivi takes her daughter to the town where her parents grew up. There, both Vivi and Melissa, learn some home truths about themselves and the people around them. This is a well-written novel which will have you reading 'just one more chapter' until you get to a very satisfactory end! less
