Russ hopes if he gets far enough away from Maple Hills, he can avoid dealing with the repercussions of his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora is tired of craving attention from everyone around her, and wants to go back to the last place she truly felt at home. There’s also a scene where Jenna is telling Rory that “dad” is just a word without any action behind it and it was definitely an emotional conversation for me to read. When she’s not describing everyone’s eyes ten-thousand times a chapter, accidentally giving multiple characters the same name, or using English sayings that no one understands in her American books, you can find her hanging out with her husband and two dogs, Pig and Bear. From the author of TikTok sensation Icebreaker comes a deliciously swoonworthy romance following two summer camp counsellors who reconnect after a sizzling one-night stand. Never one to overstay her welcome (or expect much from a man), Aurora slips away before Russ even has the chance to ask her full name.

I’m so happy that not only was that not the case (I swear I giggled every time Henry made an appearance because I’m so obsessed with him) but we also get some amazing new friends with Xander and Emilia. Russ and Aurora start the book off with a one night stand, they both thought they would never see one another again.

I won't say too much else since I think it's important people form their own opinions about this, but personally I don't think these books are for me.

Imagine their surprise and embarrassment upon meeting again and coming face to face, only to realise they’re in the same team and will be spending the whole summer together whether they like it or not. Later on, miscommunications lead to Aurora taking her chance to leave without saying goodbye and the expected end to their story.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a cocky man who can own it, but gosh I’m a sucker for a guy who is so besotted by a woman that he has to work himself up to make a move. The lack of unnecessary drama or third-act breakups and the presence of sweet, lovely characters with lots of funny and emotional moments certainly uplift the book. Because of said background, I unfortunately found it hard to suspend my disbelief regarding the kids' sleeping/cabin situation.

The FMC was a romance book lover who points out at one stage early on that they're being the miscommunication trope and I nearly put the book down there and then. The supporting characters were amazing (looking at you Xander) and of course any time there’s men melting over puppies is a plus (and now going forward all my dogs will be fish themed in name). What I may have found difficult in the beginning was greatly overshadowed by the way Grace’s words evoke a sense of warmth and comfort that kept me coming back no matter what.friends who had a mind blowing night and can’t stay away from each other despite knowing they’re breaking the rules. The way this book was planned really played to the strength of the plot , the characters’ personalities and pain.
