Genre: YA Fiction, Contemporary
When CeCe’s boyfriend dumps her after sex, telling her he needs to focus on himself and his relationship with God, she decides that the best way to change his mind is to follow him to Church Camp – surely if she spends her summer pretending to getting closer to God, Ethan will take her back, right? But then she meets his “Summer Girlfriend”, and, yes, you guessed it, decides to fake a relationship of her own in order to make him jealous…
I’m not going to lie. I picked up this book expecting to absolutely hate it. It had all the signs of being a fluffy, terrible story, where the main character ends up back with someone who clearly doesn’t deserve them. Y’all, I. Was. WRONG!
This books turned out to be hilarious, wholesome, informative, sex-positive, consent-positive, LGBT friendly (or, at least, not homophobic despite being set at a born-again Jesus Camp), female-friendship positive, self-care focused and basically just amazing. If you’re looking for an honest, funny, surprisingly light despite the topics YA read, this one is for you!
Content Warning: descriptions of sex and genitals, Christian themes (camp is quite conservative but it doesn’t get forced down your throat!)
Overall Rating: 4.5 stars
