Night Owls and Summer Skies

by Rebecca Sullivan

You have to step off the trail to find your path . . .

When her mother unceremoniously dumps her at Camp Mapplewood for the summer, Emma Lane’s hopes of repairing their fractured relationship are gone with the wind. Now she’s stuck in the wilderness facing her worst fears. Trees? Terrifying. Spiders? Even worse. And don’t even get Emma started on how she feels about camp activities. But Emma’s got a plan, and she will do anything in her power to get kicked out of camp, from sleeping in to playing practical jokes on her fellow campers. Yet when Emma draws the attention of her illusive and attractive camp counselor Vivian Black, she has to come to terms with the fact that how her summer starts isn’t necessarily how it might end. Will Vivian be the key to unlocking Emma’s fears once and for all?

I really enjoyed this book which is funny cause I myself have never been to a summer camp. This is so atmospheric that I could quite literally hear the birds while I read it. I absolutely adored Emma and her very dry witty sense of humor. Intelligent characters are my favorite and she is one of those that is almost too smart for her good.

The sapphic romance was incredibly played out, I really enjoyed getting to see the development of them from reluctant allies to sorta friends to full blown into each other. I also really liked that consent was talked about very seriously in this book because it's a very important message especially for everyone but especially young adults.

I really liked the ending because it left enough loose ends to keep you guessing but it also wrapped things up in a way that felt satisfying.
