Four girls. One unforgettable July.
Britta is the bubbly drama queen. She needs to get away—and a peaceful cabin in the woods sounds like the perfect escape.
Meredith is the overachiever. She’s spent her entire life preparing for college, but at what cost? Now she’s wondering if that’s all there is.
Kate is the reluctant socialite. She’s searching for a reason to begin again after fleeing her small Georgia town—and a shameful family secret.
Spider is the quiet intellectual. She’s struggling with pain that has isolated her from her peers for much of her life.
When these four very different young women stay together for a month in the mountains, they discover that sometimes getting away from it all can only bring you back to who you really are.

Spider's parents think it's time for Spider's grandma to sell her mountain cabin, but Spider comes up with a plan to keep it: she and her grandma will rent out the bedrooms to three other teenage girls looking to escape their lives for the summer. High-energy theater girl Britta just wants to get away from her mom's creepy boyfriend. Her fellow student, Meredith, is an Ivy League–bound super-high-achiever who recently had a panic attack in class; when Britta first approaches her with the ad, Meredith thinks she's nuts. Meanwhile, Kate is a debutante-to-be whose family is on the brink of a major disaster, and her father sends her away to spare her. And Spider? She's an aspiring filmmaker, and even though this whole thing was her idea, she's not great at making friends, and she has secrets of her own. Over the course of a single July in the mountains, four very different girls get to know the ups and downs of one another and themselves. A satisfying slice-of-life story that honors friendship and self-love. Grades 7-10. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
