Quick Summary
Lucy' summer job at a Christian camp becomes an unexpected journey of self-discovery when family secrets surface and threaten everything she thought she knew about herself. The story balances sharp humor with genuine emotional moments as Lucy navigates complicated friendships, questions her faith, and learns that figuring out who you are doesn't happen in a neat, orderly way. If your kid loved "The Fault in Our Stars" or "Eleanor & Park," they'll find that same emotionally resonant, gut-punch quality here. Perfect for teens in grades 9-12 who enjoy stories that make them think while also turning pages quickly.
