From the award-winning author of For Today I Am a Boy, a gripping and deeply felt novel about a group of young girls at a remote camp-and the night that changes everything and will shape their lives for decades to come. A group of young girls descends on Camp Forevermore, a sleepaway camp in the Pacific Northwest, where their days are filled with swimming lessons, friendship bracelets, and camp songs by the fire. Filled with excitement and nervous energy, they set off on an overnight kayaking trip to a nearby island. But before the night is over, they find themselves stranded, with no adults to help them survive or guide them home. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore traces these five girls-Nita, Andee, Isabel, Dina, and Siobhan-through and beyond this fateful trip. We see them through successes and failures, loving relationships and heartbreaks; we see what it means to find, and define, oneself, and the ways in which the same experience is refracted through different people. In diamond-sharp prose, Kim Fu gives us a portrait of friendship and of the families we build for ourselves-and the pasts we can't escape.… (altro)

Interesting premise but overall very slow and depressing. I wanted a little more adventure and more tie back from childhood to adulthood but didn’t get it. I was just left wanting more about every aspect of the story.

Read as mix between audio and print. Audio was good.

Received as part of my personal book subscription from TBR. I think it was a good choice by the book seller overall. ( )

I am mixed with this one. An incident happens at Camp Forevermore to 5 young girls. As the story is told, the author tells what happens to each girl in her college/adult life. It isn’t a direct line, which is what I enjoyed. For example, one of the girls stays (no spoiler), in her chapter, we see the number of sexual partners she has had as she waits to find out what happened to her husband. One she stays with even though he is just using her for sex. One she has sex with against her will/doesn’t want to sleep with him, but does because she didn’t stay at the party. I liked figuring out the connections to their childhood. The problem was some stories just didn’t connect with me and they kept going on and on. I mostly liked this book and would recommend it, but to the right reader. ( )

I read this in one sitting, and I loved it. There's good diversity representation. It's straightforward, suspenseful, engaging, and the writing is skillful. I would recommend this to just about anyone. ( )

I received this book as an ARC from a Goodreads giveaway. This book surprised me. I thought it was going to be an adventure story about what happened at a summer camp, possibly aimed at a young adult audience, and while the story of camp is the shorter story that runs through the book, it encompasses so much more. The book is divided into sections that get into the rest of the lives of each of the girls, and these read like four mini-books that are connected to each other in interesting and unexpected ways. Perhaps this is a new take on a coming of age story, or even an anti-coming of age story, because it allows the weight of difficult circumstances to remain with the characters. I hope this isn't a spoiler but it could be, so I've hidden it: there is no ah-ha moment where everything magically falls into place in the lives of these girls and I think that's a more honest portrait of what life is like, something that is not often found in books like these. Excellent. ( )
