The Counselors by Jessica Goodman
3.0

Summer, sisterhood & secrets.

This book is, at its core, a love story to the friends we make and the summers we spend with them. They prevail and triumph over the BS that happens all year long.

I love Goldie, a well meaning basic bitch that throws her life away for a boy and spends all year waiting for the 8 weeks of camp. She's an outsider at school & a townie at camp but that's OK, she loves it there. Her girlfriends are there.

Told in a back-and-forth timeline you really just want to pat Goldie on the head, she's such a puppy. Even when she's being bad she's good. I can't hate her, she's just so golden.

The twists and turns are a bumpy ride and the audiobook narrator is great. I can really easily recommend this book as a good, slightly nostalgic, engaging, dramatic poolside read. 3 stars!!
