I was pleasantly surprised that I absolutely loved this YA thriller 🔪 it didn’t come off as young at all in terms of the writing or conversations between characters and I enjoyed the split timeline throughout. I did guess some of the reveal about halfway through but there was still some of the reveal I hadn’t guessed until the very end. This is a great year round read and I think especially poignant for those who’ve been to camp and can picture themselves in some of the moments of joy described so well. This was truly a page turner and I couldn’t recommend it more.
