Golden Hills by Jennifer Weiner
My rating:5 of 5 stars
A short story with a big message wrapped in teen age angst and suspense. Golden Hills is a weight loss camp catering mostly to well off kids who need to trim down some pounds. Enter Ida Berkowitz, daughter of a Civil Rights lawyer mother and no father (Accident when she was a baby). All that Ida saw in Marissa was everything she didn't have and the little green monster caused her to take a bracelet. Unfortunately Marissa's feelings were hurt and she lashed out. Years later a muck raking blogger digs up the police report and wants to smear Ida right before a Senate election. Twist time...Marissa says the police report was a mistake and she doesn't have any ill will against Ida.<br />Quite an intense little tale wrapped in a very small package.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner comes a heartfelt short story about a complicated friendship and a youthful betrayal that still has the power to shape two women's lives.
Senatorial favorite Ida Berkowitz is headed for a win. Raised by a hardworking widowed mother, she's authentic, relatable, and down-to-earth. Voters love her. Polls promise victory. Then her campaign manager utters four awful words: Who is Marissa Schuyler? She had almost managed to forget. Ida's bunkmate at Camp Golden Hills when they were girls, Marissa was confident, sophisticated, and wealthy. Everything Ida wasn't. Now the polished wife of a major conservative donor, Marissa's announced a press conference. About Ida.
Just like that, Ida's old insecurities come rushing in. So do new feelings of dread. After all these years, she knows what's on Marissa's mind. It could undermine everything Ida's worked for. Because it isn't very pretty.
