Description
The Best Summer of Our Lives follows the Four Seasons—Summer Wilde, Spring Duval, Autumn Childe, and Margaret “Snow” Snowden—best friends since kindergarten. In 1977, a reckless prank lands them as camp counselors at a reopened, half-ruined Camp Tumbleweed in Oklahoma. What begins as punishment turns into a formative summer of laughter, young love, and responsibility—until the nearby Camp Scott murders shatter their sense of safety and expose how fragile their “all for one, one for all” vow really is.
The story alternates between 1977 and 1997. As adulthood reveals its own deserts—broken relationships, hidden parentage, career regrets, and unresolved grief—the women are forced to confront what they buried: who they were, what they did, and what they lost. Anchored by a second-chance romance and a strong thread of spiritual awakening, the novel asks whether perfect love can truly drive out fear—and whether broken friends can become whole again.
