Decent book, but it does get unnecessarily overwhelming with the amount of characters, perspective shifts, and time shifts, which muddles the story. Otherwise, a good read.

I'm a sucker for anything camp-related. Themes of have and have-not felt relevant to 2025. It you love the outdoors, mystery, and complicated family webs, this is your book!

A masterfully written book that deserves the accolades it’s been given. Heartbreaking at times,  with beautiful prose that seamlessly intertwined characters and times. The story keeps you guessing until the last pages.
