Interesting read. It caught me from the beginning. If you like to hear stories through different points of views, this book is for you. If that confuses you as the story is going on, then not for you.
I enjoyed it and especially the twist near the end.

Summer camp gone horribly wrong. Dual POV. Past and present timeline. Lots of twists and turns. Ending was a surprise to me, I wasn't expecting it to play out that way, I had a different thought in mind. Perfect summer thriller.
I love Lucinda Berry’s books, but this wasn’t up to par with what I expected from her. When I start one of her books, I expect them to be dark, complicated, and filled with unbelievable twists but unfortunately that wasn’t the case here. It was really tame especially when you consider the harder topics discussed in the book. Don’t get me wrong, this book isn’t BAD, it’s just not the writing I’m used to from her.
One of the things that grated on my nerves the most were these characters. All of them were insufferable and I detested them (especially Blakey). How these girls at the age of 16 and 17 would go along with her “little plan” was infuriating. These girls are nearly adults, and they let someone who clearly has issues talk them into it? It’s too wild to fathom. But I did like how this gives reason for what happens later when they are adults. The absolute toxicity, and psychopathic things that happened blew my mind even though I was expecting it! It just really packed a punch.
So, while this wasn’t as dark and disturbing as her previous novels and the characters are all annoying AF, there were some good things about it. I like how the story is a bit of a puzzle that needs to be pieced together to understand what happens later.
