I am a die-hard Jessica Goodman fan, for me no one does relatable YA suspense like she writes and THE COUNSELOR was absolutely perfect.
I never got to go to camp for the summer, but did do week long camps and this one immediately caught my attention, I would have LOVED to have grown up attending camp each summer. I was lucky enough to host a chat with Jessica about her last book, They’ll Never Catch Us for loveARCtually and she had given us a little sneak peek at this synopsis that had me SO impatient for it’s release!
Thanks to Penguin Teen I received an eARC and as soon as it hit my inbox I moved it to the top of my TBR, and it was as amazing as expected.
Goodman just has a writing style that keeps me guessing and dying to know the whole story. I loved how this one flashed from past to present view points and the portrayal of these three best friends who met at such an important place in their lives. The balance between being who you are at home versus the person you WANT to be seen as in your favorite place, and how woven into Goldie’s life Camp Alpine Lake really is.
I devoured the book — I just couldn’t imagine going to bed before knowing what would happen, and stayed up late to read it. The secrets the girls kept from one another, Goldie’s struggles and how we were given insight into her life as a townie, her love for camp and how complicated life has gotten since last summer was done so well, I really loved this one!
