You might enjoy this book if you love stories about friendship and coming-of-age adventures. It beautifully captures the bond between four girls who reunite each summer, promising heartfelt moments and nostalgic escapades within the setting of their beloved summer camp.

Best friends Emma, Skylar, Jo, and Maddie have all come back to camp for a weekend of tipsy canoe trips to the island, midnight skinny dipping in the lake, and an epic game of capture the flag-boys versus girls. But the weekend isn't quite as sun-washed as they'd imagined as the memories of past summers and boys tug at the ties of friendship....

Description

Funny and achingly honest, Five Summers is a story of best friends, lasting love, and campfire s'mores.

Four best friends, five summers of camp memories.

Emma, Skylar, Jo, and Maddie have all come back to camp for a weekend of tipsy canoe trips to the island, midnight skinny dipping in the lake, and an epic game of capture the flag—boys versus girls. But the weekend isn't quite as sun-washed as they'd imagined as the memories come flooding back...

I remember the next few seconds happening in slow motion. I turned to him, trying not to look as scared as I was. He started to lean—so slowly I wasn't even sure he was really leaning. Maybe I was just having lust-induced vertigo. His lips parted slightly, those warm brown eyes searching my face for permission, like that time I slipped climbing a tree in the north field when we were twelve and he had to take a two-inch splinter out of my shoulder. I knew what I was supposed to do; I was supposed to cock my head, close my eyes, and let go...

Funny and achingly honest, Five Summers is a story of best friends, lasting love, and campfire s'mores.

'Capturing the campfire glow of adolescent summers spent in cabins, in the woods, and on the lake, the sweet rewards in LaMarche's debut novel are the moments that reveal the beauty of true friendships that have everlasting promise.' Booklist

'Readers who love Anne Brashares's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series will enjoy this.' School Library Journal
