Ali Brady delivers a heartwarming and fun story about second chances, both in love and friendship, set at the most delightful setting imaginable: adult summer camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Jessie and Hillary were inseparable during their summers at Camp Chickawah. They promised to become counselors together one day, but that plan fell apart when Hillary bailed, leaving Jessie to carry on alone. Now, years later, Jessie is the camp director, and Camp Chickawah is on the verge of closing. In one final attempt to celebrate the place that shaped them, she invites past campers\u2014including Hillary\u2014for a last hurrah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The story flips between rekindled friendship and swoony romance. Hillary, now running arts and crafts, finds herself drawn to Cooper\u2014the camp cook and her <em>very<\/em> memorable first kiss. Meanwhile, Jessie\u2019s budding relationship with a broody, quiet author (who\u2019s staying in a remote cabin with his aging dog\u2014swoon!) gives the story just the right dose of slow-burn tension.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The magic of camp, the healing power of friendship, and the excitement of second-chance romance all come together perfectly here. I especially loved the dynamic between Jessie and Hillary\u2014I was genuinely curious how they\u2019d rebuild what was broken, and their journey felt real and earned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I read this while on a reading retreat surrounded by friends, which made the summer camp setting feel even more immersive. It put me in the <em>perfect<\/em> camp mood\u2014filled with laughter, connection, and just the right hint of mischief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This book was exactly the vibe I was craving: nostalgic, warm, and a little angsty in all the right ways. And can we talk about adult summer camp? Sign. Me.
