Wish You Weren’t Here is a YA (16yr old protagonists) summer adventure featuring a summer camp, a friend group, and frienemies to lovers romance. Emotionally, this book felt younger than I expected, with a lot of teen angst and drama. The writing was fun and funny, which helped keep the mood light and enjoyable. Overall, this was a great young summer read with lovable characters and laugh out loud moments.

Love a book with good demi rep. This is adorable, laugh out loud funny, and so heartwarming. There were some tense moments, but the book is low angst and an easy and enjoyable read.

Loved this one! Slowish burn, coming out, low angst, found family…this hit so many good feels all the way through. There was a lack of comeuppance for someone who really deserved it, but overall this was a lovely feel good read 

The New Guy by Sarina Bowen

4.25

Single, widowed, dad athletic trainer meets a guy in a bar who turns out to be not only his neighbor, but also one of the hockey players on his new team. 

This was sweet, and full of feels. It oozed hockey, but lacked any in depth team interactions outside of the two main characters. This was still a great time and overall heartwarming and sweet.
