It had been three hundred and thirty four days since Emily Williams had retuned to Camp Silver Lake. .

. to home.

The Camp Silver lake campers are back in the next book of the Silver Lake series. Emily returns to camp, full of excitement to reunite with her favorite people on the planet only to realize they've all experienced quite the glow up.

Emily is still the girl that loves her Golden Retriever, swimming, long hair, and smelling like campfires, but she also is coming to find that she feels awkward in her own skin, is blooming in areas she did not expect, and likes Matt. Like.

. .

like-likes Matt. She finds herself experiencing edging toward being a teen and less of being just a kid.

. .

and all of the self discovery that comes along with that, such as the strain she finds in fitting in with her best friends, Sarah and Ashley, or what it actually means to be a friend. Silver Lake Sisters is funny, real, and their early teen hood experiences are oh-so-relatable.

It is the second book of the Silver Lake Series, weaving the evolution of friendship with empathy, sympathy, and a lot of humor. Anyone who has experienced a meaningful friendship in their lives will know all too well: friendship is a form of love that is just as important as the romantic kind.

It can fulfill us equally and last just as long. Sometimes even longer.
