Jenny Holiday’s writing sucks me in each time. She gives us a full story you don’t feel like you don’t fully understand the setting or who the characters are.
I don’t believe I have ever read a camp romance with adults before, and I was here for it. I loved the banter and back and forth these two had. It was a hard-fought friendship that grew to more.
I don’t know that I felt like this was a “camp” setting because it felt more like a mentor role for the summer. It was very different than what camp means to me.
Teddy and Gretchen both need to get away and self-reflect.
They both experience personal growth. We see Gretchen bloom and find herself in a role other than a dancer; she is more than that.
We see Teddy finding himself outside the band setting and trying to figure out where he is going. Can he still write? Can he still make music his career?
In the interim, they come to seek each other out and find they have more in common than they originally thought. It causes them to become closer and that turns to lust, and possibly more. Can they be long-term? Do they both want that?
Personally, I enjoyed the narration Teddy Hamilton is a favourite of mine he just delivers such an authentic experience. Kit Swann was the perfect Gretchen her voice was so easy to listen to. I need more from both of these narrators.
