![]() ![]() I literally didn't even know that one of the main girls was a POC until I saw the alternative cover of this book 5 minutes ago on goodreads, which I think reveals something significant about the lack of characterization and details. The writing was very focused on characters' actions rather than imagery, descriptions, or character development, so I was having a hard time injecting myself into the summer camp setting of this novel just because there was so much lacking description. This book was very heavily focused on the afterward, and it was duel perspective, and both of those added together just made the last half of this book so bland. I don't know what it is about kidnapping stories, but I always go into it expecting a full novel of suspense and tragedy, but then they escape or the issue gets resolved only half-way through the story, and then I end up being bored for the rest of the book when everything is okay and they're just sorting through psychological issues. Those 30-ish pages were great, very atmospheric, very beautiful writing, but then there reached a point. ![]() It's a book about an accidental kidnapping, and the book begins with that. This book started out great then went downhill. ![]()
