This was a cute read. Not... Super captivating until about halfway through? Set in Michigan on the lake, which reminded me of Maine.
A great vacay read!

Conceptually this was really great, but the ending didn't do it for me. I don't know what I expected, but the
prison situation and very campy ending
wasnt it!
