This is the summer slasher you need. Set at a weekend camp for queer girls who love horror, the daughter of a local serial killer is looking for evidence of her lost (dead??) mother's body in her old stomping grounds. What started as a safe space to celebrate scares turns into a supernatural massacre where few make it through to tell the tale. Mr. Peele, we've got your next movie right here.

P.S. I hated summer camp and this solidifies my hatred wholeheartedly.

The way this was written just did not grab me. There was a lot of back and forth with memories, format changes, etc. that just really kept me from engaging with the story

hmmm i think temple is a really strong main character and ellis had a really good grasp on her voice and the complexities of Being A Teen, but overall the writing/story was a little more simplistic than i'd prefer. a fun quick read, though, and i'm super curious to see where ellis' career goes
