When they were teens, Liz, Veronica, Rachel, and Emily met and became inseparable friends at Camp Birchwood. After 30 years, however, the "friends forever" mentality has faded quite a bit, thanks in part to drastically different career paths. However, when Emily sends the other three a letter with devastating news, the former pals return to the now-abandoned camp for one last reunion, in the hopes of bringing them back together again.
Let's face it: this is not a new story. There are dozens of weepy books and movies made with a very similar storyline, made to tug at those heartstrings and have their readers/viewers reminisce about their own childhood friends. Does that make this book any less effective? Nope. It is what it is, and if a weepy tale of friendships past is what you want or need right now, this is the book for you.
