Captivating from the start. Picture this: 1975 summer camp in the Adirondacks, murder mystery, generational trauma, secrets, class division, finding oneself. I did enjoy the switch of viewpoints, although it was a little difficult to keep up with so many characters.
A cold case is reopened for a teenage girl’s brother right as she goes missing herself. This book explores many ways people in their lowest moments choose to react to the cards they’re dealt. Whether it be an unhappy marriage, mental health struggles, feeling trapped, dealing with poverty (or conversely, the loneliness and scrutiny of wealth), we are taken for a ride through each character’s personal journey through hell and back.
This was a great read and very relatable for anyone in any walk of life. I breezed through it in a couple of days, captivated by cliffhangers, plot thickening, and shocking discoveries. It’s a great novel for those who find it easy to side with any character or personality and enjoy the thrill of a mystery.
