Destroying Toxic Masculinity

Absolutely loved the idea of a queer summer camp. This was really wholesome and there was SO much queer rep I can not get over how amazing the setting of this was. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it with the whole plot of being someone you’re not to get a guy but it was actually written really well. The characters were detailed and the character development was done really nicely.

This was a sweet story with high levels of realism. Tho the plot is something that is out of a romcom even the characters acknowledge it. There we’re definitely some moments I thought this definitely would never happen in real life. But I just went with it cause at the end of the day it is a fictional story. Also the end was what really made this story for me. A lot of YA stories queer or not usually end with very unrealistic or just straight up cliff hanger ending. And I applaud this story for ending in the most realistic way while it also being very sweet and somewhat happy ever after-ish.

Absurdly adorable. I loved how committed Del is to his absurd plan, and how convinced he is that it’ll work. Things didn’t quite go where I expected, which was fun. This story is incredibly sweet and hilarious, and I loved the characters and LGBTQ+ camp. It was nice having a demi side character too. Maybe not as appropriate for us YA-reading adults due to teen sex.

I haven't heard of this book before I saw it at my local book store. But now I have to say, I'm so glad I picked it up.

The story was so good. Its about finding yourself, not trying to bend yourself to fit into being someone you're not.

Randy and Hudson both learned so much about themselves and each other.

Both of them did stupid things, but they got to work out their problems (a bit apprehensive at the beginning though).

Even if they got be open at camp, it's so important to be save and I'm glad, that the author put that part into the book.
Not all people or parents are as open as others. When he gets to live on his own, Hudson will be able to express himself more openly.

All in all, this was definitely a 5 star read for me, it had such amazing character development and it was also very informative on different orientations.

Rosen has created such a beautiful queer story that I adore. I was stressed about the ‘shoe’ dropping but I trusted Rosen and they delivered with so many loveable characters and cute moments.
