This book was so cute! I loved the story of it and the build up!

Received a free ARC from NetGalley
Avery is the dependable, predictable older sister. Lauren is her talented 15 year old social media influencer sister. Their parents, both teachers, always plan a family summer trip. This time it’s to a summer lodge for 2 months- 2 months of summer camp type activities and no wi-fi. Avery and Lauren are initially upset about this. However Avery is escaping from her best friend Shay kissing Avery’s very recent ex Trent and having no cell phone signal means that she can avoid dealing with them. Right away Avery meets Brooks, a camp worker and aspiring musician who plays guitar with the camp band. She becomes friends with him and the other workers Maricela, Clay, Tia, and Kai. Brooks’ goal for the summer is to be part of a music festival, Avery’s goal is to become less predictable and try new things. Avery and Brooks decide to help each other reach their goals - and bond in the process. The book is really sweet- a teenage summer love story with YA appropriate Dirty Dancing vibes.

4.25 stars. Maybe 4.5. This was so cute! The only thing I didn’t love is that I find song lyrics/writing songs in books so cringey….but cute otherwise
