She's never wanted anything more than her best friends, her moms, their house in the woods, and their family-run yoga studio--except maybe knowing who her sperm donor is. Her curiosity has been building for years, and she can finally find out this summer when she turns eighteen.<br \/>\nBut when Max and his family move into the sad old house across the woods from Calliope, she realizes it's nice to get to know someone new, so nice that she decides to break her no dating rule. The stability of her longtime trio wavers as she and Max start to spend more and more time together.<br \/>\nWhen Calliope finally finds out who her sperm donor is, she learns a truth more shocking and unfathomable than she could have ever dreamed: her donor is Max's father. How is this even possible? As she and Max struggle to redefine their friendship, Calliope realizes that she can turn a horrific situation into something positive by recognizing and accepting that family is both the one we are born into and the one we choose to make.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-06-20T10:00:10+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Sunday and welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up post!

Back in 1978, four camp counselors were killed in the woods outside of the town of Barlow Corners, their bodies left in a gruesome display. The new owner offers Stevie an invitation: Come to the camp and help him work on a true crime podcast about the case.<br \/>\nStevie agrees, as long as she can bring along her friends from Ellingham Academy. Nothing sounds better than a summer spent together, investigating old murders.<br \/>\nBut something evil still lurks in Barlow Corners. When Stevie opens the lid on this long-dormant case, she gets much more than she bargained for. The Box in the Woods will make room for more victims.

But it\u2019s difficult to be seen as a go-getter when she\u2019s forced into TV Production class with all the slackers like Lewis Holbrook.<br \/>\nFor Lewis, though, this is going to be <i>his<\/i> year. After a summer spent binging 80s movies, he\u2019s ready to upgrade from the role of self-described fat, funny sidekick to leading man of his own life\u2014including getting the girl. The only thing standing in his way is, well, himself.<br \/>\nWhen the two are partnered up in class, neither is particularly thrilled. But then they start making mini documentaries about their classmates\u2019 hidden talents, and suddenly Hayley is getting attention for something other than her breakdown, and Lewis isn\u2019t just a background character anymore.
