The first-person narrator’s description of all the safe places at Camp Alpine Lake rapidly become obvious sarcasm when descriptions are of anything but safe places; for example, the edges of the forest are “cliffs where loose rocks threatened to fall silently into the abyss.” But there seems to be more than landscape dangers since Goldie Easton (the narrator) has now learned the truth and will never feel safe there. The tension and mystery surrounding whatever it is that Goldie, the narrator, experienced heightens with every page: her parents urge her to not let what happened spoil what she loves; there’s a reference to a married couple who are camp counselors saving her life; and finally readers learn that she got nasty notes in her locker at school as well as stares and whispers. And a few pages later, there’s the information that some people think Goldie should have gone to jail.
As the chapters alternate between "Then" and "Now," it becomes clear that there are some unlikable teen counselors at this camp. The problem is that I do not feel terribly supportive or emotionally tied to any of them yet after reading the first seven chapters.
