One S'more Summer by Beth MerlinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"One S'more Summer" by Beth Merlin was a cute, sweet, and enjoyable summer read. Gigi, the main character, was well-developed and likeable, and I could certainly sympathize with her desire to escape a difficult situation in New York by taking a job at her childhood summer camp while she figured out what to do next with her life. While at Camp Chinooka, her interactions with the campers and her fellow counselors were a lot of fun, particularly the ones with Perry, her eventual love interest. Gigi and Perry's relationship had a great enemies-to-lovers vibe that was very entertaining, and I really liked them as a couple. They seemed to bring out the best in each other as they each helped the other work through their past relationship baggage.
The one (minor) thing that bothered me about this book was that I could not figure out what Gigi ever saw in Joshua, or in Alicia for that matter. Alicia seemed very self-absorbed and more interested in her career than in any romantic relationship or friendship. As for Joshua, he just seemed like a jerk who used Gigi when it was convenient for him, but never really took her feelings into account. It seems to me like Gigi might be better off without both of them in her life.
At any rate, I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
