This was an enjoyable if quick read, with a predictable storyline and what I think of as typical teen summer camp romance plot. However, the genre of queer YA lit is sorely lacking in material so any addition to it is a positive. It's also a book I think I would have loved as a teen even though it didn't translate super well for me as an adult. The resolution wasn't clean-cut which was nice for its realism. This wasn't my favorite book but for teens and young adults I would easily recommend it.
