This was quite the story! Somewhat hard to follow as an audiobook given all the characters and the back and forth timelines, nevertheless it kept my attention and made me need to know what really happened with all these characters. You‘ve got two children, years apart, going missing at the same camp…what could have happened? I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this story! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I for the most part liked this one & the audio was decent. There is a lot going on in this book with dual timelines & lots of characters. I think the only thing that made me not love it was the ending. I was a little frustrated & had so many questions. Not sure if that is the author‘s style or intention. It was a little frustrating, I‘ll put my irritations/questions in the comments

ncsufoxes Did they ever tell the mother what happened to Bear? Or did they just continue to let her believe he was missing? How could you let a 13 year old decide to fake their own death/disappearance (although I do get that her parents are both horrible)? 6d

TiredLibrarian Completely agree with you about the ending. I liked the book otherwise. 6d

BarbaraJean Yes! I had the same two frustrations with the ending. I felt like I could have been talked into accepting both of those situations, though, if there had been just a couple more chapters to flesh things out. Especially with the mother. 6d

Years after the disappearance of one camper, a summer camp faces another disappearance with chilling parallels.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Centered around the disappearance(s) of the Van Laar kids, this is very much a sprawling slow burn of a 70s Adirondack summer. Pay close attention, especially at the beginning. There are a lot of well-fleshed characters, and you need to keep the info straight. I had to take a few notes, but it was worth it. Though I thought one thread was unnecessary, this is otherwise nearly perfect. Brilliant title!
Lives up to the hype, IMO.

Overall, I enjoyed this one… this slow burn of a book was set at a summer camp and had a plethora of characters that added many facets to the plot! Can‘t wait to discuss it at book club next week!

TiredLibrarian I just finished it and I liked it too. 1w
