When 17-year-old Emma Lane is forced to spend her summer at her mother’s house, she takes it as an opportunity to reconnect with her distant mother as she tries to repair their shaky relationship. But after being rudely left at Camp Maplewood, a place that holds serious trauma for her, Emma is left bitter and angry. That is until she meets Vivian Black, the straightforward and blunt daughter of the camp’s headmaster, who just so happens to be placed as her counselor. Despite both of their starting dislike of each other, Emma grows closer to the entire Black family and begins to dread the end of summer. I actually read the comic version of the book first, which while it has all the same characters, changed the plot and I found it less enjoyable. While they both have their pros and cons, the characters in the book are much more fleshed out and have a more developed personality. This book is perfect to enjoy without having to set aside too much of your time for reading And definitely counts as a beach read. I found it especially captivating and had a hard time putting it down, so much so that I finished it over one weekend
