About the Book
Perfect for fans of 99 Days and Anna and the French Kiss, this unforgettable, sun-drenched summer romance from one of YA’s bestselling and most beloved authors, Sarah Mlynowski, is an irresistible dive into the joys of seizing the day and embracing the unexpected.
Sam’s summer isn’t off to a great
start. Her boyfriend, Eli, ditched her for a European backpacking trip, and now
she’s a counselor at Camp Blue Springs: the summer camp her eleven-year-old
self swore never to return to. Sam expects the next seven weeks to be a total
disaster.
That is, until she meets Gavin, the
camp’s sailing instructor, who turns her expectations upside down. Gavin may
have gotten the job just for his abs. Or that smile. Or the way he fills Sam’s
free time with thrilling encounters—swimming under a cascade of stars,
whispering secrets over s’mores, embarking on one (very precarious) canoe ride
after dark.
It’s absurd. After all, Sam loves Eli.
But one totally absurd, completely off-the-wall summer may be just what Sam
needs. And maybe, just maybe, it will teach her something about what she really
wants.
