Victoria Griffin has mastered the art of running; from relationships, from expectations, from anything that feels too permanent. After calling off her engagement and walking away from her job, she finds herself taking a short term position as a camp counsellor to get back on her feet.
The problem? Vic’s not exactly the outdoorsy type. The bigger problem? She arrives at camp and finds herself face to face with Noah, her former best friend that she kissed then ran away from. She hasn’t seen him since they kissed.
Vic and Noah’s unresolved past crackles with tension and simmering emotions, making every interaction electric. Watching Vic, clumsy and completely out of her element in the wilderness, stumble her way through nature was hilarious and relatable. But more than that, her journey to overcome her fear of the outdoors mirrors the way she slowly dismantles the emotional walls she built between herself and Noah. Vic has to confront her inner voice that criticizes her decisions. She is afraid of failure or of appearing like a failure. She is too harsh about herself. She needs to be more confident and don’t worry about what other people think about her, especially her mother.
This is a quick, enjoyable read that wraps summertime adventure and romance into one. With its perfect mix of heartfelt moments and playful energy, it offers a warm escape into a world of love, personal growth, and the great outdoors.
