Who doesn't love a great summer camp? Especially one for privileged kids. But the relationship between camp and the "townies" isn't great. And when Goldie's ex-boyfriend if found dead, she knows something isn't right. I enjoyed the camp setting and the 3 best friends. What I didn't understand is why Goldie took the fall for something Heller did and why he let her if he loved her so much. Didn't make a lot of sense to me. Otherwise, I enjoyed this mystery.

Was an okay YA thriller. I feel like parts of this dragged and I was hoping it would be more “sleep away camp” thriller than it was.

I so loved this book. It wasn’t even so much the actual story and mystery part as it was the atmosphere. It wins on friendship and nostalgia alone. You know that feeling when you’re about to become adults and you know everyone will be going their separate ways soon and nothing is ever going to be the same again
