 - CAMP is one of the most adorable books I've ever read. I loved the setting of a camp for queer kids: a place where they could fully be themselves, even if it's only for a few weeks out of the year.
- I loved that this book tackled toxic masculinity within the gay community, showing clearly how internalized homophobia and misogyny can embed themselves out of fear of being punished by cishet people.
- A few times it felt like it was verging on Very Special Episode territory, but it's YA, so there's room there. The one thing I simply could not get my head around was exactly how big was this camp?? There are like 19 cabins but everyone fits under the tarp to roast s'mores in the rain? Lol.

An exploration of queerness through teenage logic. I love the balance of cheesy and serious, though I do wish

one of the main romantic storylines would have involved trans characters. All three were cis, even if nonconforming in presentation.

That said there were still trans characters and each character was beautifully written with true emotion and nuance.

the main character lying to/deceiving the love interest is a major plot point
