Days before her first day as a camp counselor, her mom breaks the news that this will be their last year at camp because she has decided to sell it. Paisley is devastated when she's also informed that her mom's boyfriend's mother is sick, so they will all be moving to Wyoming soon to care for her. Feeling gloomy on her first day at camp, Paisley runs into Hayden Bennett (white), a cute boy who has a reputation at school for getting into trouble. Paisley has always been a rule-follower, but she and Hayden make a plan to break up her mother's relationship in the hope of avoiding the move. This is a sweet coming-of-age story about a girl who unexpectedly finds romance while also facing major life changes. In addition, it explores the dynamics of mother/daughter relationships and high school friendships.

A lone bird soars in the right corner, which is what drew me to this specific journal. I don’t take choosing the perfect camper’s journal lightly. This one will stay with me over the next two weeks and document all the camp moments I never want to forget. That’s especially important this year.A lump tightens my throat as I lie on the bottom bunk in my empty cabin, staring up at the wood planks of the bed above me. The other counselors aren’t here yet. It’s just me and one big secret that presses in on me from all sides. I put my pen to paper and prepare to unload that secret—that’s what journals are for—when I hear a rattli
