Does this book have all the components of my perfect book? Yes.
Does this book have a scene in which a woman says "I don't like men." Which a friends replies "you like this one." And then said man coerces the first woman into having sex with him after which she falls in love with him? Yes. And it ruined this entire book.

Read it on my blog!
Teen Titans Go! to Camp is a charming and hilarious take on the Teen Titans. I admit that I am not the most familiar with the Teen Titans Go! TV show because by the time it came out I was a bit older than the target audience so I never really got into the show. But that did not affect my enjoyment of this book. The jokes that reference the show were easily understood, though I don't think the audience of this book in people who haven't seen the show.
The humor worked really well for me. It is not always the nicest humor, and there is some use of language that I would rather not see, but it never uses a marginalized group as the punchline. Admittedly that is a low bar to clear but a lot of pieces of media still don't clear it. For the most part the humor is relies on the character archetypes and about how ridiculous a certain character was and as someone who is familiar with the Teen Titans original show, I liked quite bit. There was however a very distasteful joke about slavery which... yeah.
Each chapter ended with a letter home from one character. These letters each have a different illustrator and a unique art style. Notably Abigail Larson drew Raven's letter which I think fit incredibly well. It was a very nice touch!
