Garland Moore is running late for her honeymoon when she meets a man named Mason at the airport and has a vision of them together in the future. Cut to a few years (and an unexpected divorce) later, when she runs into Mason again at a summer camp for adults that she’s attending with her sister. Then she also runs into Mason’s sister Stevie—literally. Garland is left trying to figure out what the signs all mean, and if she cares what the universe is trying to tell her anymore. While she attempts to navigate her love life, Garland also takes part in a number of traditional summer-camp activities and builds friendships with a strong cast of supporting characters.
VERDICT If readers don’t mind the instalove timeframe or singular first-person narrative, they’ll find a lot to like in the latest from Morrissey (A Thousand Miles). It tells a story of emotional healing and an adult’s discovery of her bisexuality; there are also strong sibling connections and a fun camp setting.
