This was such a fun read that had me giggling and internally kicking my feet!

Russ and Aurora were so delicious together. I liked that they have very different backgrounds, especially socioeconomically, but their lives still paralleled one another in ways that drew them together and allowed them to understand one another more deeply. After all, what’s more universal than having issues with one’s father? I’ve seen some reviews mention that they don’t like how those issues manifest in Aurora with her essentially hooking up with guys for validation and attention. I will just say that she’s only 20 and comes from a very privileged background so I think it’s pretty realistic. 

My only real issue with this book is that I felt like they barely worked at the summer camp and there were moments of them sneaking around while they were supposed to be responsible for a group of 8-10 year olds.

I liked this one more than Icebreaker though the two are definitely different plots. A big thing that they do share is the entertaining and supportive cast of side characters! I can’t wait to see who else we get a book so I can be back with some of these characters.
