Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
5.0

STARRY EYES is such a fun, banter-filled romance perfect for enjoying on a warm summer or fall night. Zorie and Lennon used to be best friends, but since the homecoming dance, they've been pure enemies. Unfortunately, they still have several friends in common, and they end up having to share space on a group camping trip. If that wasn't bad enough, they get separated from the group and have to survive and escape the wilderness together. As they retrace what went wrong, something might be rekindling between them...

I love a good forced proximity romance, and Jenn Bennett writes tension like no other. From the first chapters, I was fully invested in Zorie and Lennon, and that only grew as they revealed more of their motivations and secret feelings. The banter is so witty and sharp and creates an excellent build up to their big conversations where they're (finally) honest with each other.

I would recommend any Jenn Bennett romance, but STARRY EYES might be my favorite, especially for the YA romance category.
