the queen of ya thriller has done it again!
jessica goodman delivered a beautiful tale of friendship, grief, and the secrets we keep to keep others safe.
we follow goldie throughout this story as it shifts between past memories to recent day. we see the build of her relationship with heller, and also the downfall.
the friendships are so pure in this book. the girls would do anything for each other, and i loved getting to know them.
the vivid imageries of summer camp made me so happy, and nostalgic. i love love love reading books about summer camp and this hit every bit. it felt like i was right there inside camp alpine lake.
i did figure out one of twist, and had a feeling the second one was coming but it was still a very good twist that i enjoyed.
i really enjoyed this book, i think goodman is a fantastic writer and i’m always excited for her books!
-- i was given an earc of this book in exchange for an honest review. all thoughts are my own.
