The Clover Girls

Goodreads: Elizabeth, Veronica, Rachel and Emily met at Camp Birchwood as girls in 1985, where over four summers they were the Clover Girls—inseparable for those magical few weeks of freedom—until the last summer that pulled them apart. Now approaching middle age, the women are facing challenges they never imagined as teens, struggles with their marriages, their children, their careers, and wondering who it is they see when they look in the mirror.

Then Liz, V and Rachel each receive a letter from Emily with devastating news. She implores the girls who were once her best friends to reunite at Camp Birchwood one last time, to spend a week together revisiting the dreams they’d put aside and repair the relationships they’d allowed to sour. But the women are not the same idealistic, confident girls who once ruled Camp Birchwood, and perhaps some friendships aren’t meant to last forever…

Ope’s Opinion: I enjoy stories about sisters and female friendships. There is a lot of angst with all the girls family relationships. There is also a lot of distance in the relationship between each other.

The chapters toggle between when they were young campers and now as adults. Each chapter is from a different friends perspective. This helps to see how each of them came into the friendship and how they developed as adults.

Some times it was hard to believe how mean they were to each other. I am not sure I would have been able to salvage a friendship after all they had done to each other. I think it is suppose to make you feel the strength in woman and their friendships, but it missed the mark.
