Book Review: The House on Fripp Island by Rebecca Kauffman

The House on Fripp Island // Rebecca Kauffman

Two families of childhood best friends vacation on an exclusive island off the coast of South Carolina. One family is wealthy, the other working poor; before the trip is over tragedy befalls them.

I loved both The Gunners and Chorus. When I saw Rebecca Kauffman had released a book between the two and it was a vacation type read I knew I had to prioritize it this summer.

Unfortunately The House on Fripp Island didn’t quite live up to expectations. I found this a serviceable beach read, but lacking the depth of characterization I appreciate in Kauffman’s other novels and very much wanted from this story.
