Who is this book for?

  • It would appeal to fans of summer camp settings, found family tropes, and stories that explore family dynamics alongside the romance.
  • Those who liked the first book in the series (Icebreaker) and are invested in the Maple Hills world would probably appreciate revisiting familiar characters.
  • Readers who prefer character-driven stories with a focus on emotional growth and overcoming personal issues may find the book satisfying.
  • It's also suitable for those who enjoy romances that balance humor with more serious themes.

Who is unlikely to appreciate this book?

  • Fans of fast-paced plots or high-stakes conflict may find the story slow or lacking in tension.
  • Readers seeking very steamy content may be let down by the relatively tame romantic scenes.
