In fact, she’s so happy to have garnered Gia’s attention that she finds herself unable to avoid thinking about Gia. New girl Gia’s captured the attention of nearly everyone at camp, but she attaches herself to Lida quickly, and Lida couldn’t be happier. Not much happens, aside from Lida’s settling in, until another new girl arrives at Alice Marshall. She’s experienced some of Boone’s terror herself when she wakes up after her first night in her room with a new hair cut. She’s rooming with Jules, a girl who Lida feels doesn’t belong because there’s no way she has a broken past, and she’s also rooming with Boone, a girl who has burned a building down and who Lida learns has earned quite the reputation around school. That’s about as vague and as descriptive as it comes, of course, but for good reason. Lida arrives at the camp after something bad has happened in her life. The girls live in basic cabins, have virtually no rights, and have to endure countless hours of therapy (which in this case isn’t always traditional). It’s sort of a last-chance resort, but it’s not anything luxurious or enviable. The Alice Marshall School for Girls is set in a sprawling and remote area of wilderness in Idaho, and it’s where girls who need to escape their past are sent to discover themselves.
