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.

 - 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.

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