NOT WORKING FOR ME.

I just could never get into this one y’all. It read kind of like a Hallmark movie, predictable and easy to follow, but lacking in charm. All of these characters felt very surface level and while attempts at being deep were made, I never found a connection with anyone.

This was mostly a bunch of adults trying to relive some kind of glory moment and a summer camp they all used to attend. I thought recreating games was kind of silly and I’m just not a food fight gal. This also led to petty arguments between the love interests and sleeping together rather than talking, which is always a recipe for a disaster. The drama didn’t add anything and I wasn’t surprised by one thing that happened.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: low
- Romance: 2ish open door
