Ivy’s long-time girlfriend Ally, a teen TV superstar, has just dumped her and very publicly begun dating her co-star.  The internet is abuzz with gossip, and while fans are thrilled and more than ready to ship their two favorite stars, they are less kind to Ivy, who can’t seem to stay away from the comments on Ally’s social media. Heading to the woods to be a counselor at Camp Acorn Hill, her childhood camp, feels like a welcome, even necessary, escape. Ivy wants nothing more than to hide from the world for two months while she gets over Ally.

But when she arrives, she is devastated to find that her former best friend Rynn, who she had a falling out with years before, is also a summer counselor. Tension builds from there – starting with a rivalry, but then turns into something Ivy didn’t expect: attraction.

A fun sapphic enemies-to-lovers summer romance with likeable characters and a well developed cast. Elements of summer camp, theatre and social media culture move the storyline forward and will appeal to a wide variety of readers. Not a must-have, but a nice addition to a library collection that patrons will enjoy.
