Hot on the heels of The Twin, the undisputed queen of YA thrillers is back with a scary and suspenseful read about a summer camp filled with dark secrets. Esme and Kayla once were campers at Camp Pine Lake. They're excited to be back this year as CITs (counselors in training). Esme loves the little girls in her cabin and thinks it's funny how scared they are of everything--spiders, the surly head counselor, the dark, boys . . . even swimming in the lake! It reminds her a little of how she and Kayla used to be, once. Before . . . it happened. Because Esme and Kayla did something bad when they were campers. Afterwards, the girls agreed to keep it secret. They've moved on--or so they say--and this summer is going to be great. Two months of sun, s'mores, and flirting with the cute boy counselors. But then they get a note. THE LAKE NEVER FORGETS. And the secret they've kept buried for so many years is about to resurface.

So. Much. Melodrama! The premise of this book has a lot of potential: when Esme was at camp as a kid, a terrible thing happened that she feels responsible for. She returns to the same camp as a counselor in training and it looks like maybe someone knows about it. Unfortunately, the story is poorly written and feels wildly implausible amidst all the melodrama. I plan to avoid this author in the future.

Bette I read something by this author once and now I just pass when I see her name too. 😐 3y
Hooked_on_books @Bette Such a bummer, isn‘t it? But of course, it‘s useful to know who to avoid! 3y
