Thank you Penguin books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
I really loved this book, it was everything I wanted it to be! Del/Randy is such an interesting protagonist, and I think that a lot of queer people especially queer teenagers will be able to relate to his plight to making the boy of his dreams to fall in love with him. Although it did put me on edge the entire time I was reading because I just wanted him to tell Hudson the truth! I loved them both so much I didn’t want either of them to get hurt.
This book was so easy to read, I flew through it because I loved and enjoyed the characters so much. It felt entirely believable and I absolutely adored the huge cast of queer characters. I’ve never read a book that featured so many queer people from the LGBTQIA+ acronym and it was truly brilliant to have them all in one place in this book. ‘Camp’ is extraordinary because Rosen creates such an incredible sense of place that I was immediately pulled back to the rural camp that I worked at, so not only did I enjoy the story but it created a sense of nostalgia and love – which I think is really powerful.
I’m giving this book 4 stars because it’s so funny, honest, and has wonderful characters who I want to be my best friends. I think this is an incredible story about being yourself, and letting people love you exactly the way you are!
