I didn't realize how much I needed this lusty, funny, heart-breaking book until I devoured it in a single sitting... A sharp, flawless debut' Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other PartiesEighteen-year-old Mira - a connoisseur of all things sleaze - is to spend her summer working at the Juniper Island Wilderness Lodge, an eclectic homestead on a remote Alaskan island run by indomitable Maureen and her gregarious husband, Lou. While guests from all over the world hunt for salmon, worry about bears, and indulge themselves in this retreat from modern life, Mira bakes snicker-doodles and dreams of the gap-toothed step-cousin she met in these same Alaskan wilds the year before. But while Mira is fantasising, other residents of the Juniper Island Wilderness Lodge are taking steps and making plans which, by summer's end, will have torn apart this seeming paradise.
