This book was about a college aged girl whose family was really poor and it was just her and her dad. Her dad goes missing while looking for some treasure in the mountains and then she basically gets harassed by these three guys. One of the guys is really rich and his dad is also looking for the treasure. They team up and try to find the treasure but things about her dad get found out and she doesn’t know if she wants to continue searching for treasure. I read the book about a year ago I think.

Claire, what's the genre - e.g., for adults or teens? mystery, romantic suspense, adventure, literary fiction, etc.?

What is her father's job? Is the treasure gold?
What happened to her mother?

I copied book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.

Kris, I think the genre was young adult. I don’t remember her father having a job. He was obsessed with finding the treasure and they were very poor because all of the money went to the hunt. They don’t know what the treasure is and they never find it. Her father tells her that her mother died but the father kidnapped her when she was really young. I think it was set recently and in the U.S. I believe. And thank you!

Also there was a romantic aspect between her and the three guys after they stopped harassing her lol. I think one of their names was Wyatt. I’m not sure that just sounded right. I specifically remember a scene where they’re at this town campfire where all of the college students hang out and some girl is mean to the mc and one of the guys defends her. Not sure if that helps but that’s all I have.
