Four girls. One unforgettable July.

Britta is the bubbly drama queen. She needs to get away—and a peaceful cabin in the woods sounds like the perfect escape.

Meredith is the overachiever. She’s spent her entire life preparing for college, but at what cost? Now she’s wondering if that’s all there is.

Kate is the reluctant socialite. She’s searching for a reason to begin again after fleeing her small Georgia town—and a shameful family secret.

Spider is the quiet intellectual. She’s struggling with pain that has isolated her from her peers for much of her life.

When these four very different young women stay together for a month in the mountains, they discover that sometimes getting away from it all can only bring you back to who you really are.

One secluded cabin. Four teenage girls, each running from something. A month with no escape to figure it all out.

• Four Different Points of View: Told from the perspectives of Britta, Meredith, Kate, and Spider, four strangers who have nothing in common―except the secrets they’re hiding.
• A Friendship for the Ages: Like a modern-day Breakfast Club, this moving story celebrates the power of unlikely friendships and the messy, beautiful journey of finding your people.
• A Digital Detox Summer: Stuck in a cabin with no cell reception or internet, four girls are forced to disconnect from the online world and connect with each other.
• A Journey of Self-Discovery: From dealing with family scandals and academic pressure to escaping a creepy boyfriend, each girl must confront her own problems to discover who she’s meant to be.
