Wish You Weren't Here

De: Erin Baldwin

Narrado por: Valerie Rose Lohman

"A masterclass of a sapphic rom-com. Filled with hate-to-love perfection, swoony moments, and off-the-charts chemistry."—Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl

All's fair in love and Color War.

Juliette doesn't hate Priya Pendley.

At least, not in the way teen movies say she should hate the hot popular girl. They don't do cat fights, love triangles, or betrayal. To survive their intertwined small town lives, they’ve agreed to a truce. They complete group projects without fighting, never gossip to mutual friends, and stand on opposite sides of photos so it’s easy to crop each other out.

Priya seems to have everything during the school year—social media stardom, the handsome track captain boyfriend, and millions of adoring fans—and Juliette is at peace with that. Because Juliette has the summer, and the one place she never feels like “too much”: Fogridge Sleepaway Camp.

But her hopes for a few Priya-free weeks are shattered when her rival shows up at Fogridge on move-in day... as her cabinmate, no less. Juliette is determined to enjoy her final summer, even if it means (gag) tolerating her childhood rival, but everything that can go wrong, does.

If Juliette can’t find something to like about her situation—and about Priya—she risks hating the only home she’s ever had, right before she says goodbye to it forever.

Feelings perfectly captured

As a former camp kid just like Juliette, Erin really captured the feeling of that one last summer as a camper. I found myself in tears because it brought me back to my own experience many summers ago. That feeling of nostalgia and wanting to hold on just one more second before the magic of camp ends.
I also adored seeing the relationship between Juliette and Priya evolve. They both had to come to an understanding that this person they’ve known for years and thought they understood has so much more to their story than they had seen before. Juliette’s struggle to share the one thing she thought she had for herself was so relatable. In the end I found their story sweet and genuine.
Even though I am an adult, this YA story was a perfect summertime read!

Adorable story

The story was cute and I enjoyed the growth of Juliette and the development of the two main characters relationship. But I wanted more, I felt a connection between them but half of the book focused on Juliettes love for camping while important I think it was a missed opportunity.

Camp captured in a book

I listened to this in one go and loved it! Great story telling and funny characters.

One of the best books ever

It’s very good no spoilers but read it if your not a homophobe and if you are a homophobe I despise u 💋
