This was great end-of-summer vibes. Also, as someone who worked at a summer camp for many years, I was absorbed into the setting immediately and could relate to some of the characters without trying very hard. I WILL SAY I think this book was about 150 pages too long. There are potentially too many POVs and the timeline jumps are honestly nauseating sometimes. I understand why those choices were made, but I wish they were more concisely executed. The ending also was a little bit of a let down, and by that I mean, ONE of the endings was a bit of a letdown. There are many endings that happen way too quickly. I really enjoyed the premise and a lot of the writing, but there were simply too many bows to tie off at the end when you're already a bit fatigued.

...Four stars because most of the book was riveting but what the actual f*ck was that ending? Seriously? I spent all that time building up to this? I'm so mad. 

Anyway, for the most part this is a well written book that left me really invested in several of the characters and trying to figure out exactly where everything was going. That's my favorite thing about a good book. Unfortunately, it all gets kind of ruined in the last 25 pages or so. I can't say much beyond that without some major spoilers, but if you pick this book up, expect to finish it feeling cheated.
