Nell and Lydia have been best friends for a long time but when their moms get into an argument Lydia's mom tells her she doesn't want them to be friends anymore. Both have difficult home lives - Nell's mom is unstable and prone to fits of anger and Lydia's dad is absent a lot and her mom is too worried about appearances. Nell comes up with a plan for them to fool their moms and allow them to spend the summer together at an abandoned golf course.
Things start out idyllically but when they discover a homeless family living at the golf course too things change. Nell makes new friends and Lydia feels left out. Can their friendship survive this hidden summer.
What I liked about the book was that it didn't magically end happily ever after. There are a lot of loose ends and that is okay. Life isn't always tied up in a bow. But there is hope....
