I liked Goldie, but man it was hard to form any opinions about her outside the lens of what she went through to help her boyfriend, Heller.

Repeat after me, baby girl: we are NOT, I repeat we are NOT, signing away our lives and our future to protect the reputation of our boyfriends. Goldie is still trying to figure out how or even if to tell her friends the truth when a dead body is found at Camp Alpine Lake, and what should’ve been the perfect last summer for three best friends turns into a summer of suspicion, paranoia and questioning whether they ever knew each other at all. And Goldie fears seeing her best friends again because she’s been keeping a horrible secret from them – one that has ruined her chances at a future. Despite being from wildly different backgrounds – Goldie is a local from a working class family, an exception to the usual upper class Manhattanites that make up most of the camp’s kids, while Ava is from one of New York’s wealthiest families – Goldie, Ava and Imogen have always told each other everything.īut this year, the girls are returning to camp as counselors before heading off to college in the fall. Goldie, Ava, and Imogen have been best friends since they met as kids at Camp Alpine Lake, a picturesque Vermont summer camp that feels like something straight out of the movies.

A blood-splattered lifeguard swimsuit screams INTRIGUE. They say ‘don’t judge a book on its cover,’ and like, that’s fine or whatever, but I FOR SURE snagged up this book before I’d even read the blurb based on the cover alone. Bonus Factors: Summer Camp, Murder Mystery
