The Counselors by Jessica Goodman

5.0

---

Jessica Goodman has nailed yet another YA thriller and I am already wondering when her fourth book will be out. Goldie and her best friends Ava and Imogen have reunited for another summer at Camp Alpine Lake. The young women look forward to camp every year and say fondly 10 for 2 a joyful camp expression. This is their first summer as counselors and the first summer that after years of friendship they aren't being completely honest with each other. When a dead body turns up in the lake, a dead body that Goldie knows very well Goldie quickly learns she may not be the only person at camp with secrets. The pacing of this novel was great and the friendship of the girls is so authentic to the ebbs and flows of teenage relationships. I've never been to summer camp and this book left me wanting to pack my bags and googling adult summer camps.
