I really enjoyed this book which is funny cause I myself have never been to a summer camp. This is so atmospheric that I could quite literally hear the birds while I read it. I absolutely adored Emma and her very dry witty sense of humor. Intelligent characters are my favorite and she is one of those that is almost too smart for her good.
The sapphic romance was incredibly played out, I really enjoyed getting to see the development of them from reluctant allies to sorta friends to full blown into each other. I also really liked that consent was talked about very seriously in this book because it's a very important message especially for everyone but especially young adults.
I really liked the ending because it left enough loose ends to keep you guessing but it also wrapped things up in a way that felt satisfying.

I loved this book. It's simple in the way that it all takes place in one place and the characters are all the same ones from the start to the finish. I enjoyed reading it thanks to the easy language and gripping love story between the two girls

He recibido este ARC por parte de NetGalley a cambio de una reseña sincera.
Esta historia sale de Wattpad (he descubierto que hay una segunda parte y estoy emocionadísima). Me ha gustado mucho que se sitúe en un campamento de verano y sobretodo, que sea una novela romántica, pero también de superación de miedos y de dejar ir a familiares que no aportan nada. Si es verdad que en estos temas no se profundiza tanto, pero acaba siendo una novela muy amena y divertida y sobretodo con diálogos muy buenos.
He disfrutado muchísimo de las conversaciones de Vivian y Emma, de verdad que han hecho más reales a estos personajes y no podía parar de enamorarme más de ellas.
Si es verdad que Vivian se denomina como Pansexual, teniendo muchísima carga negativa para el colectivo trans, bi, gender fluid y no binario. Entonces por eso le he bajado la puntuación de cuatro estrellas a tres.
Quitando eso, que me molestó bastante, los temas de ansiedad, depresión, bullying, fobias, homofobia, que toca este libro, creo que son muy importantes y que tienen importancia pero no siendo el hilo principal. Porque este libro no deja de ser "un libro de bolleras en un campamento de verano".
De verdad que os recomiendo darle una oportunidad a este libro, la autora escribe muy bien y perfila a los personajes principales que da gusto.
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.
This story is from Wattpad (I've discovered that there is a second part and I am very excited). I really liked that it is located in a summer camp and above all, that it is a romantic novel, but also of overcoming fears and letting go of relatives who do not contribute anything. Yes, it is true that these topics do not go as deep, but it ends up being a very entertaining and fun novel and especially with very good dialogues.
I've really enjoyed Vivian and Emma's conversations, they really have made these characters more real and I couldn't stop falling in love with them.
If it is true that Vivian is called as Pansexual, having a lot of negative charge for the trans, bi, gender fluid and non-binary community. So that's why I lowered the score from four stars to three.
Removing that, which bothered me a lot, the topics of anxiety, depression, bullying, phobias, homophobia, that this book touches, I think they are very important and that they are important but not being the main thread. Because this book is still "a book of lesbians in a summer camp" (I am the only one who call the book like that).
I really recommend this book and I encourage you to give it a chance. The author writes very well and outlines the main characters with pleasure.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC!
I'm not really sure about this one. I found reading this one to be quite a drag and long-winded. I didn't find that I empathized with the main character enough and the concept was a bit meh for my liking. It may just be a taste issue but I could have gone without reading this book (apologies!!).
I find the relationship between Emma and Vivian quite weird and it felt forced. Many times I had to remind myself that Emma wasn't 18 and actually she reads quite a lot younger, almost 15, and that the relationship seemed a bit inappropriate. I also didn't like the dialogue between Vivian and Emma - it seemed forced and I honestly just skimmed through what they said.
I didn't like the camp setting. I'm not an outdoors person that may be why.
All in all, this book wasn't for me but perhaps it is for someone else!

i wasn’t expecting much from this but i did indeed enjoy it very much. it was the first book i’ve ever read with a lesbian protagonist, which is incredibly sad. but otherwise this is a book published from wattpad so i just assumed the problems that it had would occur and it didn’t really bother me.

I really wanted to like this book based on the premise and setting but this book was hard to get through. I did not like the main character at all and that made the book hard to read.
