Wet Hot Summer by Sarah Brenton
4.5

 Brenton writes consistently great romances - from her debut novel to now, they have ticked all the boxes for me: fun, a little zany, steamy, and heartfelt. This one was no different - Benji and Gina were adorable (and the chemistry was hot!), and the side characters were exactly what a reader wants when the author is teeing up more stories in the same world. I love it when the FMC is older than the MMC, and the absolute magic of romance is how an author can take a crazy idea and make it work. 😍 In the Author's Note, Brenton mentions that she almost quit writing, and I really hope she doesn't, because her books have made my life just a little bit sweeter, and I would miss that if she quit. 🥲
