When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults, she reconnects with a man from her past—only to fall head over heels for his sister instead.

Garland Moore used to believe in magic, the power of optimism, and signs from the universe. Then her husband surprised her with divorce papers over Valentine's Day dinner. Now Garland isn’t sure what to believe anymore, except that she’s clearly never meant to love again. When new friends invite her to spend a week at their reopened sleepaway camp, she and her sister decide it’s an opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer getaway they never had as kids. If Garland still believed in signs, this would sure seem like one. Summer camp is a chance to let go of her past and start fresh.

Nestled into the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Camp Carl Cove provides the exact escape Garland always dreamed of, until she runs into Mason—the man she had a premonition about after one brief meeting years ago. No matter how she tries to run, the universe appears determined to bring love back into Garland’s life. She even ends up rooming with Mason’s sister Stevie, a vibrant former park ranger who is as charming as she is competitive. The more time Garland spends with Stevie, the more the signs confuse her. The stars are aligning in a way Garland never could have predicted.

Amid camp tournaments and moonlit dances, Garland continues to be pulled toward the beautiful blonde outdoorswoman who makes her laugh and swoon. Summer camp doesn’t last forever, but if Garland can learn to trust her heart, the love she finds there just might.

Fun, lighthearted summer romance

wanted to like this a little more than I did, but I enjoyed it. It was a little bit too insta love and occasionally corny for my personal tastes. These women know each other for 6 days. I just… will never believe in someone falling In Love properly in that amount of time. I just won’t. Sure, bonding in short bursts absolutely happens. It happened to me while I studied abroad in college, we latched onto each other and our friendships grew faster than they might have otherwise, but… IN LOVE, to the point of PUBLIC DECLARATIONS, my old nemesis, had me side/eyeing hard.

That said, I enjoyed the characters, and watching Garland come into her herself was nice. The lighthearted summer camp story was fun and the narrator was wonderful.

Super cute, queer summer romance

Fun, sweet and full of nostalgia. I want to go to adult summer camp — especially one as welcoming and diverse as camp Carl cove!

Fun Sweet Romance

It was fun & silly at times, HEEHAW!! I enjoyed the book. An adult summer camp made it different from other books. Ms. Jeremy C Parker did a fantastic narration.

Newly out

After 48 years being married and divorced three times I finally found my soulmate! I relate so much with Garland. My goal was never to be in a relationship with a woman, but when I met my best friend, I’ve realized that I couldn’t imagine my life without her in it. Friendship eventually led to love and I found myself realizing part of myself I’ve never seen before. This book captured all of the feelings that I felt before I came out so well that I feel like I could’ve written it myself! The narration was done beautifully with each character’s voice being recognizable, even though it was the same voice actor, reading all the parts.

Wow!

A complete story from beginning to end.
Not character or word wasted.
Expertly narrated… Simply a joy to listen to
