I consumed this book in record time. I love, love, loveeee a creepy summer camp story and this one delivered!
Our narrator has worked her way to the top and landed her own Netflix show but that came to an abrupt halt when she thoughtlessly tweeted something and became the latest victim of cancel culture. Now her agent is sending her away to Camp Castaway for two weeks. When she arrives, the camp is beautiful and serene with cozy cabins surrounded by a thick forest. There’s only one road in, one road out, and no cell service—it’s a place to escape to. Having lost her job, her fiancé, her best friend, her money, her home, she welcomes the camp with open arms but when other campers start to disappear, she senses that something is off at Camp Castaway.
This novel is a fascinating meditation on LGBTQ+ rights and cancel culture. From the first few pages, I was deeply invested. The characters and the plot were well written and the story unfolds in a way that is truly addicting and so fun to read. The imagery was strong and played like a movie in my head. This is a horror story that is guaranteed to leave readers satisfied. Would recommend to readers who love slashers, summer camp vibes, incredible world-building, and horror stories that are thought-provoking.
