Sleepaway camp for adults? Count me in. Add in a divorcee coming to terms with her new life, her family, and her first ever feelings for a woman? Sheer perfection. We really get to watch Garland grow through her week at camp (yes, just a WEEK!!). Between chasing after a man she had a premonition about but falling for her sister, getting up close and personal with her fears during the camp's color war, and discovering who she really wants to be post-marriage, Garland has a VERY busy summer. There's a little puff of steam, but not too much for those on the sweeter side of romance readers.
I don't care that it's insta-love or that there aren't many areas of conflict - Garland and Stevie were made for each other. It is soft, cozy, and makes me want a butler to do a secret handshake with. It's a celebration of queerness, love, and summer camp. What else could you ask for?
