I requested this one back in the day as I had every intention of reading it. However, its been years and I still haven't gotten around to it and while I feel guilty at not reviewing a book I think that I need to admit to myself that I won't be reading this one anytime soon....if at all.

This has being on my netgalley since about 2013, i requested it back around when i started blogging, i never got round to it. With my recent blog post about picking my read off my TBR this was picked as my read.
Firstly, my reading tastes have def changed, and this is something i wouldn't request if it was about now. I dont think i am the target reading market for this, this is most certainly a teen read. I am not a teen nor am i great at enjoying teen reads because i just feel they are too young. That is not a criticism on the authors, its just not for me.
That aside, we meet Lauren who has been counting down to summer camp where she can break away from school- the new image that has being created for her and get back to being her true self, the science geek, goofing around wearing comfy clothes and not caring what others around her think. A chance to get back to her Summer boyfriend and leave her school one behind, only she doesnt - he decides to come to camp with her *eyeroll*
So, here is Lauren - now a cheerleader with a jock boyfriend trying to chill with the science geeks. An ex who she wants to be with, but a jock she also wants to be with - drama...well teenage drama. Most of the time i wanted to shake her, i felt one minute she wanted one, then the other then time to find herself and i just was frustrated. However, i have to remember - i am not that age, nor am i going through that drama, so i couldnt relate and from the outside its easy to criticise.
I didnt particularity like many of the characters - I liked Lauren most and because i knew she had good intentions at heart, despite her flaws i did feel she was doing what she thought was right at the time. I felt her friends were not the best either, very quick to judge and make assumptions and i felt in parts stubborn.
However - i think this was a sweet read about first loves and if i was a teen reader this would be a great fun summer read, and there isnt really anything wrong with the read at all - i just think this is not me, and its a shame - so i wont be reading Camp Payback (another book in the series) however, i have read other work by the authors and i do enjoy them so i will read other things!
