Still grieving a year after the tragic and violent death of her older sister, Skye gets sent to a summer program for grieving teens. There she meets others who have lost loved ones and explores their shared experiences. The story gets spiced up when Skye suddenly starts to receive text messages from her dead sister. Someone has hacked her sister's accounts, but who would do such a thing? Given the timing, she suspects one of her fellow campers is trying to mess with her head and she homes in on one boy who she notices is trying to manipulate and control the others in the group. However, in the end, it turns out the texts are coming from an entirely different source.
An average summer read with a plot twist. The main storyline (of the mysterious message-sender) is a false flag, which is just as well since the guilty party isn't even introduced until page 200. It's not badly written, but rather terribly executed. Ordering the events in the story better for dramatic impact and stripping out the superfluous materials (starting with the largely pointless flashbacks) would have done wonders. Too much of this book is spent on scenes that have nothing to do with the story and the ending is rushed through far too quickly. Lots of nice ideas, but it's all under-edited and rushed out.
