Once again I am a few days late in my post, but I am flying through books this year. Looks like I may just smash my goal of 30 books if I keep up this pace.
My latest read was The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu.
I made my way through this pretty quickly, but would have liked for the past and present to be tied more cohesively together. I felt like the incident that was supposed to have changed everyone's lives, making them who they ended up being, was not delved into enough. I felt like it was just touched upon lightly and did not go deep enough for me. I was thinking it might be a bit more of a newer female version of Lord of the Flies (which I loved when I read it in Grade 9! I even saw both the original movie and then the remake that starred a very young Balthazar Getty). Where each of the girls ended up was interesting enough, I just wish that the time on the island had been more weighted. If not for the fact that it was supposed to be what influenced their later lives, the rest of the book was an interesting read in and of itself. I had a hard time relating to some of the characters - not quite sure why. I rated it 3 stars on Goodreads.
My next book is one that I have heard is quite creepy, so I am intrigued:
