Cameron Post has immense guilt. She was so terrified of her parents finding out that she had kissed a girl and that night they were both killed in a car crash and she was relieved that they would never find out. Cameron didn't realize just what would happen next as she thought she would continue to be raised by her grandmother who had been living with them and while she was old-fasioned, Cameron knew just how to manage her. Instead, her ultraconservative and religious aunt is giving up her entire life to move in to Cameron's home to raise her. Now Cameron is going to church every Sunday and she knows that her survival in her hometown will depend on her ability to go with the flow and not stand out in anyway.
Then Coley Taylor moves into town from the more rural surrounding area, a perfect cowgirl with an equally perfect boyfriend. Cameron didn't mean to but she fell in love with Coley and a deep friendship formed between them...and then things went further until they are caught and Coley's shame flares up. Now Aunt Ruth has decided that in order for Cameron's soul to be saved, she must go to a special camp to learn how to deny who she is and become what their church says she should be.
Turns out that Cameron isn't the only one there who doesn't think she needs to change and she finds kindred spirits but can they manage to survive the camp intact?
I really enjoyed this book. Cameron was relatable, the story was simple but well executed, the characters layered and with their own arcs and growth. The ending did leave you wanting a sequel but I was ok with how and where it ended.
