This was a very funny comedy-0f-errors type story. Anything bad that can happen to Cat, will. The extensive camp cast was really wacky and out there but surprisingly loveable. This gave me 'The Bear' vibe, a bunch of nobodies come together and make a really special moment happen. Can this band of misfits save the camp that was frauded by a business con man? 

I went into this completely blind and was surprised to see a bit of a romance subplot under all of the Save the Camp, Save the Family main plot. She is pregnant with a baby with a man who doesn't even know she's pregnant so if anything I thought that might be the romance plot, but was surprised to see it was a certain brooding camp staffer. I loved that we got to see Cat come home and remember why she loved the camp so much. As that happened the sister relationship was cut open and sewn back together in honor to save their family legacy. This story shines such a light on family bonding and coming out of a miserable situation together. 

Thanks to the publisher for the ALC in return for an honest review.
