The Counselors by Jessica Goodman
3.0
dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was really, really annoyed with the main character for letting a boy use her like that. And then for her to still think she’s in love with him?? No. 

Ava the best friend was unlikeable as well, and the motive for the mystery is not something teenagers would care about. 

I loved the camp setting, but that’s about it. Which is a bummer because I’ve loved a couple of this author’s other books.
