Publisher's summary

Perfect for fans of 99 Days and Anna and the French Kiss, this unforgettable, sun-drenched summer romance from one of YA’s best-selling and most beloved authors, Sarah Mlynowski, is an irresistible dive into the joys of seizing the day and embracing the unexpected.

Sam’s summer isn’t off to a great start. Her boyfriend, Eli, ditched her for a European backpacking trip, and now she’s a counselor at Camp Blue Springs: the summer camp her to which 11-year-old self swore never to return. Sam expects the next seven weeks to be a total disaster. That is, until she meets Gavin, the camp’s sailing instructor, who turns her expectations upside down.

Gavin may have gotten the job just for his abs. Or that smile. Or the way he fills Sam’s free time with thrilling encounters - swimming under a cascade of stars, whispering secrets over s’mores, embarking on one (very precarious) canoe ride after dark. It’s absurd. After all, Sam loves Eli. But one totally absurd, completely off-the-wall summer may be just what Sam needs. And maybe, just maybe, it will teach her something about what she really wants.

Great but Just like Spells and Sleeping Bags

Growing up Mlynowski was my favorite author. I loved her Magic in Manhattan series, especially the third book where it takes place at a camp like this. Compared to her other stories it felt kind of bland. She used a lot of the same stuff from Spells and Sleeping Bags and it was kind of disappointing. It was a good story though. I wouldn’t recommend young teens read it even though it is for 14 and up. There is some mature content mentioned, but nothing in detail.
