Starry Eyes
by Jenn Bennett
Zorie reluctantly agrees to a "glamping" trip at the urging of her mom, but regrets her decision when she realizes Lennon, the boy who broke her heart, is also on the trip. All Zorie really wants to do is live life by her many lists, try and reconnect with her friends, maybe flirt with her current crush, and attend a star-gazing party during the annual Perseid meteor shower. Any and all surprises need not apply.
But, the stars have something else in mind for Zorie as she and Lennon end up sort of lost in the wilderness. Alone. Don't forget the bears though. Despite the bears, the mosquitoes and some other mishaps, these two star-crossed lovers may find roughing it in the wild the perfect time to realign.
Bennett makes my heart sing. I adore her YA romances as they are full of relate-able, quirky and adorable characters, and just enough angst and drama to make you hold your breath, but nothing ridiculous and eye-rolling.
I especially enjoyed the parents in this book, as instead of being "invisible" or off page, they were fully fleshed out and integral to the story. I loved that Lennon's moms owned a sex-toy shop (part of the conflict between the two characters families), and that Zorie had such a great relationship with her step-mom.
Lennon is super sweet and dreamy - he can take me camping anytime, especially if there is sexlaxation included!! ;)
My only *wee* quibble is a huge spoiler so stop here if you don't want to know:
