I truly am surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I don't really know what I thought of the writing, per-say and I think the settings seemed to jump around a bit as if perhaps the author changed her mind about a few things here and there, but outside of that, the story was well done and I loved the dialogue throughout it.
Darby's sister went missing when she was not even a teenager yet. 6 years later and she is doing her best to get by in life but doesn't really know who she is. It seems as if she has tried to fill the void of her sister by trying to take over who her sister was, including being with the boy that her sister seemed to have liked. They haven't even been getting along lately.
While her boyfriend Lance is away on business as an upcoming politician, Darby decides to completely change her plans for the summer by becoming a counselor at a camp. When she gets there, a guy her age named Torin keeps her on her toes, quite literally. She begins to learn more and more about herself through his help and feels more comfortable than she ever has before.
Basically this book is about dealing with heartache and loss of those in your life whom you loved and how to overcome it.
There are a few make-out sessions in this book, so if that creeps you out, just letting you know (they are pretty descriptive). There were a few words of profanities used as well (no "f words" at all). Also there is some lust and physical activity but no intercourse. It is not a Christian book, but there are hints of it found as you read it because Torin proclaims his faith pretty openly and for the most part in how he lives too.
