The Counselors by Jessica Goodman
4.0
I’m a sucker for the sleep away camp trope when it comes to a murder mystery and The Counselor’s definitely delivered the vibes for me, making it my favorite Goodman book so far! To be honest, her first two books were meh to me so when I was sent a copy of this one, I was nervous because it sounded amazing and I wanted to love it.
From the first page though, I could tell this was written better and had potentially and I was immediately sucked into the plot. I genuinely didn’t start guessing about what was happening until the very end and was still wrong when it came down to it haha.
The Counselors made me wish I had the chance to attend summer camp when I was a kid. The food, the laughter and the friendships made definitely seem unbeatable and the friendships that were made at this particular camp are the focal point of this story. It’s about camp, but also about long standing friendships, secrets and what someone would do to cover up their very own secrets. This story is told through out “now” and “then” point of view, which I genuinely enjoyed and felt like we got a well rounded out story because of it.
I definitely feel like The Counselors is the perfect murder mystery for summer to just pick up and binge!
