Beschrijving uitgever
An effervescent second chance romantic comedy about two former campers who reunite at their beloved sleepaway camp.
Clara Millen’s life is spiraling out of control: her dream job is a nightmare, she’s resoundingly single, and it’s been years since she’s taken time off. Thankfully, the last problem she can fix—this year she’ll join her friends on their annual summer vacation to their beloved childhood sleepover camp for a much-needed escape.
But when Clara arrives at Pine Lake Camp, she faces yet another unwelcome change: the owners are retiring and selling the property. The news turns her plans for revelry into a night of reminiscing . . . and prompts a surprise heart-to-heart with Mack, her old camp nemesis and constant competitor, who's still just as annoying (and annoyingly handsome).
Soon the campfires aren't all that's throwing off sparks. And when one wildly passionate night turns into two (then too many to count!), Clara begins to wonder if she and Mack could have a future together. But when Clara's boss finally offers her everything she's worked so hard for, Clara will need to decide if the life she's always wanted is the life that makes her feel truly alive.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this breezy contemporary, Spencer (In a New York Minute) takes readers on a nostalgic summer getaway. After burned-out Boston ad exec Clara Millen's boss insists she take a weeklong "micro-sabbatical," Clara agrees to attend a summer camp reunion in New Hampshire—made extra memorable by letters the campers wrote as teenagers, designed to be read 20 years later. Pine Lake Camp was where teenage Clara spent many happy summers with friends—including Mack Sullivan, her longtime nemesis (and crush). Now the camp has been sold, meaning this is the last chance for the group to reconvene in its cabins, and giving Clara the extra incentive she needs to be present in the moment, not tied to her work phone. As Clara reconnects with her friends, considers the things she wanted to do by 35 when she was a teen, and finally acts on her long-simmering sexual tension with Mack, she realizes just how thoroughly her job has taken over her life. But when she's offered the promotion of a lifetime, she must decide what she wants her future to look like. Spencer's driven heroine and competitive hero will delight readers, as will the fine supporting cast, including Clara's pregnant bestie, Sam, and a bickering couple, Nick and Trey. This is second-chance romance done right.
