Okay. Look. I may have seen someone on booktok talking shit about Riley Sager and it MAY have had me a little tiny bit hesitant to go into this book. But y’all, it slapped!!
Emma is 13 and sent to Camp Nightingale for her first summer away from home. Having arrived late, she ends up in a cabin with three older girls. They become friends, they laugh, they play games. And then the three older girls vanish, poof, gonna. Fifteen years later, Emma is an artist and is asked back to the re-opened Camp Nightingale to teach young girls how to paint. Does she go to gain some closure? Or is she just stirring the pot?
