"My biggest fear is that someone will find out what I did ten years ago."
This book is for you if... you want a thriller about a summer camp and don't mind it being slower paced.
I want to start this by saying this book is feels ridiculously slow for a thriller. I just have no idea what to say about it other than I was bored though the whole book. The writing felt very cringey, with certain lines and felt like it was trying to relate to younger readers but also be for teens? I don't know what age range this book was targeting at all, it felt young and old all at the same time. But I wasn't bored enough to DNF it.
The characters are boring, like honestly all of the are boring. Even our villain is boring. This whole book was one character holding a grudge on 4 people for a mistake made 10 years prior when they were children. I think the overall plot had potential, but lacked in execution.
I don't have much to say on this, like it just fell flat.

I was just bored, the whole time.
