The setup: four girls with very different personalities (the outgoing drama queen, the nerd, the outcast, the perfect rich girl) opt to spend a month in a cabin in upstate New York over the summer. Each girl is seeking to escape something in her daily life, and none of them really expects to become friends.

The result is sweet but feels more middle grade than YA to me. The girls are all in high school, can drive, are looking ahead to college, etc., and they have a lot more freedom than your average middle or high school student (no curfews or check-ins or anything, and one girl spends the night in a tent with a boy without so much as letting the lone adult around know), but there's a sort of simplicity to their relationships and mini-dramas that feels a lot younger. The things they're trying to escape also tie up very, very, very tidily into morals-of-the-story that they conveniently outline for the reader at a bonfire.

Probably a better fit for a younger reader. Has its moments, but I was hoping for a little more complexity (and maybe for every problem not to be magically and perfectly solved at the end of the book) and a lot more woods and nature.
