 This was so fun. I started and finished it in the same day and I enjoyed it so much.

I have never been to a summer camp, but this gave me all the feelings of longing for a place that I had never been to.

I love a (one sided) enemies to lovers and this is SUCH a great example of that. Juliette is a whole mess, but trying and I think that is such an important things. I come from a large family (though not QUITE as large as hers) and the struggle of finding something that's just yours resonated so, so much. Also the cake scene? HAH, felt that. 

This is a love letter to summer camp, but also to girls that were constantly told they were "intense" and they should try harder to be "likeable". Just a really, really lovely read!
