Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

This book felt nostalgic, despite me not having any camp experiences myself. I loved the strong female friendships that are built, and tested, and made stronger by life happening around them.

I love the snippets we get of Nora's life at home and the short snapshots of the other girls' experiences and lives. Everything is depicted in a way that kind of feels like magic and love all wrapped up for you.

I would definitely try another Vikki VanSickle book in the future. This was a delight!
