Description

Maddie and Chloe have always been best friends-until last year, when Chloe's popularity and budding fame as an actor left Maddie in the dust one too many times. Their friendship is over, and they're both ready to move on. Or so they think. The girls arrive at camp only to discover that the universe isn't ready to let go of this friendship just yet: They're cabinmates, and now they both have to spend the summer with their ex-best friend. Each of the girls has to decide: Is it time to try again, or is this friendship doomed for good
