Beschreibung des Verlags
A seductive summer romance worth swooning over from a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins.
Phoenix can’t imagine anything worse than being shipped off to family summer camp. Her parents have been fighting for the past two years—do they seriously think being crammed in a cabin with Phoenix and her little brother, Harry, will make things better?
On top of that, Phoenix is stuck training with Callum—the head counselor who is seriously cute but a complete know-it-all. His hot-cold attitude means he’s impossible to figure out—and even harder to rely on. But despite her better judgment, Phoenix is attracted to Callum. And he’s promising Phoenix a summer she’ll never forget. Can she trust him? Or is this just another lie?
“A charming summer romance.” —Booklist
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this summer romance, Williams (the Crashseries) banishes 17-year-old Phoenix Ainsworth to an Arizona wilderness camp for families and a summer of roughing it. On top of being stuck in a dusty cabin with her parents and 10-year-old brother, Harry, Phoenix knows that they are about to be evicted hence her father installing them at his friend's camp for free, with Phoenix working as a counselor. Phoenix's initial anger at her parents abates as she warms to the camp: partly because of how much Harry is enjoying it and partly because of Callum, the handsome head counselor in charge of training her. Williams's novel makes a stronger family story than a romance as Callum zigzags between being aloof, appealing, and arrogant, it isn't always easy to see why Phoenix likes him so much. This story is at its best when it's focusing on Phoenix's protective relationship with Harry, her anger at and struggles with her parents, and the family's attempts to regain control of their home, finances, and future. Ages 14 up.
