Definitely not the story that I was anticipating. I’m still going to give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars but it certainly did not meet my expectations. I was anticipating a survival story - a summer read - an adult novel about young girls persevering on a camping trip gone wrong. Yes, there is that in the book but it probably equals about 25% of the story. The other 75% is broken up into vignettes of each girl’s life post Camp Forevermore. You get some insight into how the camping trip may have changed the trajectory of their adult life, but more often than not you’re wondering about the relevance of everything you are told about the characters. It’s an interesting way to tell the story and I’m not sure it was told in the best way possible. When you’re nearing the last 50 pages, it also becomes slightly predictable as to how the Camp Forevermore Story is going to end.
With all this being said though, I still enjoyed the book. If you’re a character-driven reader, you’ll find each characters story enlightening and I think you’ll get the most satisfaction from this novel. It’s short, a fast r
