Summary
Five summers of silence. That's how long it's been since Shelby Goodkind vanished without a word, leaving nothing but questions and a broken heart in her wake. Now, as Toni Shalifoe returns to Camp Blackburn for what should be a perfect, drama-free summer, she's about to discover that some wounds never truly heal—especially when their cause happens to be the new Theater Director.
Meanwhile, Leah Rilke returns to camp after being in London for two years, practically a stranger to the friends who once knew her best. After an almost-kiss shattered what could have been, she and Fatin Jadmani find themselves forced to work together again, their creative energies syncing even as they pretend their hearts don't.
As a financial threat looms over the camp, these eight friends must navigate broken trust, unspoken feelings, and the people they've become in each other's absence.
Some roots run deeper than time or distance. Some wild things grow even in the darkest places.
A story of second chances, chosen family, and finding your way back home—no matter how far you've strayed.

Home is... Toni hasn’t had a home for a while now. Because home would be where she could call along with the girls around her and feel that same relief as they did when someone picked up.

Summary
Here on the island, she thinks differently. Because of course, out of all the people in the world, amongst the millions of people who had known or hadn’t known hardship, the universe still decided Toni would be the one to end up stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean with seven other girls. Right, because her life isn’t already that fucked up.
And of course, out of all the people she could’ve ended up stranded on an island with, she ended up here with a bible-thumping, annoying Texan white girl who just seemed to not know how to shut her mouth. And of course, because she’s so predictable, Toni would fall in love with her. At this point, she thinks it’s just a big cosmic joke.
Or the one in which Toni learns how to let herself be happy and in turn teaches Shelby how to be happy too.
