The story was essentially about a summer at a beach cottage. It didn't feel like much happened.

The story of two friends at their summer cottages, swimming, watching scary movies, and visiting the local corner store for their rentals. Also dealing with the family issues that arise. A quick read. Not my favorite, but might be to someone looking for a quick 'sad' vacation summery realistic fiction read.

Somehow this book captures the essence of summer. The vacation, the lake, and late night scary movie sessions with your friends. There was family drama, there was small town drama, and all the adventures a pre-teen on summer vacation could want. Though at times it felt like Rose was a little callous towards a lot of the things that were happening around her. But on the other hand, that’s kind of the way teens and pre-teens can be. My feelings on this one are all over the place. I loved it, I hated it, it made me long for the summers of my childhood. So I think I’m giving this one three and a half stars.
