For the next 24 hours, Leo, wracked by guilt and the fear of discovery, bounces from emotion to emotion and from group to group at the resort. I could almost feel the intense heat, and thus I could empathize with the protagonist's apathy caused by the heat.

With echoes of the films of Francois Ozon, this intense, slim novel is a hot summer read that lingers long after you finish the last page.
