Micah Dupree is in high school and suffers from anxiety following the tragic death of her brother. Micah works at a church-run camp where her boyfriend also works. She is “the good girl” but is starting to have second thoughts about waiting for sex, especially as her anxiety escalates. 

Because the book is short, it’s hard to delve deeply into the characters, so they come off a little one dimensional. There is a sexual situation but it isn’t too graphic. It’s a fast read with themes of friendship, family, and religion.
