Description
Caroline George once again transports readers with lush, evocative prose, leading them to ask the question: what happens when we can’t even trust ourselves?
Some memories are better left forgotten.
Darby and Morgan haven’t spoken for two years, and their friend group has splintered. But when the body of their former science teacher is found in the marsh where they attended camp that summer, they realize they have more questions than answers . . . and even fewer memories.
No one remembers—or no one is talking.
The group of reunited friends suspects that a murderer is stalking the coastal highway 30A, and they are desperate to recover their memories as quickly as possible . . . before their history they can’t remember repeats itself.
Everyone has a secret.
As tensions rise and time runs out, Darby and Morgan begin to wonder if they can believe one another . . . or if they can even trust themselves.

THE SUMMER WE FORGOT by CAROLINE GEORGE is a really good thriller with plenty of suspense and twists and turns. The plot is interesting - how can people forget what happened two years ago? This group of good friends, who have changed after their time as counselors at Camp Choctawatchee, need to work together to remember before they are charged with the murder of their science teacher who disappeared from the camp and whose body has hust been found.
These amateur sleuths, all with secrets of their own, neither trust themselves nor one another, but have to work together to stay alive. I like the way we are introduced to their families and see what part their upbringing plays in their lives. Will these broken teenagers ever get back what they have lost? How will the trauma they are going through affect the rest of their lives?
Darcy and Morgan have drifted apart over the past two years due to a video of them kissing going viral. I like the way the author tells the story from each of their viewpoints. We see how broken they are and how hard they try to live up to what is expected of them. A quotation that I particularly like is “Wanting to grow up is a good thing. It means we feel the future is a place worth going.”
I know this novel is weitten for young adults, but it is also most enjoyable for those of us who are not so young!
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
