Her unrequited feelings are hard to deal with initially but become even harder when Lily inadvertently introduces him to the love of his life. It all started as a bit of a joke thanks to the other woman's name. Eve. Many years later and Adam is once again single and heartbroken and Lily is there to help him pick up the pieces. Her methods are sometimes a little unorthodox and lead to ridiculous consequences. Can Lily help Adam move on and find happiness again? And can either of the friends recover from losing the love of their lives? Sometimes the one thing you want is way out of reach. Views: 36
At
fourteen, Matt has executed so many pranks - the latest nearly destroying his
school - that his parents are out of discipline options. So his father pulls a
few questionable strings to get his son into Camp Friendship: A camp that
promises to strengthen the moral compass of today’s youth. With a name like
Camp Friendship Matt imagines three punishing weeks of daisy chains and
Kumbayas.
Within
minutes of arriving at the camp, however, Matt’s nearly killed—twice. It
doesn’t take long for him to realize there's more to this picture-perfect place
than meets the eye. What sort of summer camp has programs in forging passports?
Why do they have endless fight training, and weapons drills, and what is with
the hidden rooms? Matt wonders if his parents realize they've enrolled him in what
seems to be some kind of freakish, elite spy school.
What
Matt doesn't yet know - and is soon to find out - is that Camp Friendship's
ultimate purpose is far more sinister than he could possibly have imagined.
With each dot he connects, he begins to understand that in the end he'll be
left with two choices: pull the prank of a lifetime to escape this place...or
die trying.
