Afterglow - Lily Easton

Alice and Briar were best friends through high school, returning every year to the summer camp Briar’s mum ran. Until one summer - their last together - when Alice kisses Briar, then flees to England and cuts off all contact.

Now, Briar’s mum has passed away, and it’s up to Briar to keep the summer camp running. Determined to ease her long-term guilt over how she treated Briar, Alice offers to help co-direct, and soon the two are sharing a cabin and managing chaotic campers and counsellors.

The two constantly butt heads and rub each other the wrong way - but is all the friction they’re feeling purely down to past grievances, or is some of the heat due to rekindled attraction?
