This book was really good. It was set at a summer camp where nothing was as it seemed. It was definitely The Rich versus The Poor, The Townies versus The Summers, and Goldie, the main character, would only be able to attend the camp because her parents worked there. She was involved in an incident during her senior year of high school that she didn't want her best friends, the ones that she only saw at summer camp, to know about. When the boy that was involved mysteriously shows up at camp, dead, things turn south and go haywire, fast.

I enjoyed this mystery. I had no idea what was going on and I was really interested in finding out. When I wasn't reading it I wanted to be. When the ending hit, I was shocked. There may have been literal gasping involved, lol. I really liked Goldie as a character also, but I didn't much like her friends - Goldie was shady for a reason but her friends were not. Overall this was a fun read that I highly recommend.
