Bookroo's summary

During a term at a wilderness school camp, sixteen-year-old Sib expects tough hikes and dorm life, not complicated love and friendship drama. Newcomer Lou, still grieving a loss from the year before, wants only to be left alone. But when she sees a betrayal building between Sib and her best friend Holly, Lou is drawn back into the lives around her.

From the publisher

During a semester in the wilderness, sixteen year- old Sib expects the tough outdoor education program and the horrors of dorm life, but friendship drama and love that gets complicated? That will take some navigating. New girl Lou has zero interest in fitting in, or joining in. Still reeling from a loss that occurred almost a year ago, she just wants to be left alone. But as she witnesses a betrayal unfolding around Sib and her best friend Holly, Lou can’t help but be drawn back into the land of the living. In this tender, funny story of first love, good friendship, and going a little bit wild, Fiona Wood introduces two unforgettable girls who discover that before you can be true to yourself, you have to figure out exactly who you are.
