One of Amazon’s Best Romances of June ∙ A Real Simple Must-Read of Summer 2023 ∙ A Book Riot Best Romance Book of Summer 2023 ∙ A Buzzfeed Romance Book To Look Out For In 2023 ∙ A Paste Magazine Most Anticipated Contemporary Romance Book of 2023
When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults, she reconnects with a man from her past—only to fall head over heels for his sister instead.
Garland Moore used to believe in magic, the power of optimism, and signs from the universe. Then her husband surprised her with divorce papers over Valentine’s Day dinner. Now Garland isn’t sure what to believe anymore, except that she’s clearly never meant to love again. When new friends invite her to spend a week at their reopened sleepaway camp, she and her sister decide it’s an opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer getaway they never had as kids. If Garland still believed in signs, this would sure seem like one. Summer camp is a chance to let go of her past and start fresh.
Nestled into the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Camp Carl Cove provides the exact escape Garland always dreamed of, until she runs into Mason—the man she had a premonition about after one brief meeting years ago. No matter how she tries to run, the universe appears determined to bring love back into Garland’s life. She even ends up rooming with Mason’s sister Stevie, a vibrant former park ranger who is as charming as she is competitive. The more time Garland spends with Stevie, the more the signs confuse her. The stars are aligning in a way Garland never could have predicted.
Amid camp tournaments and moonlit dances, Garland continues to be pulled toward the beautiful blonde outdoorswoman who makes her laugh and swoon. Summer camp doesn’t last forever, but if Garland can learn to trust her heart, the love she finds there just might.

This was a wonderful story. All about starting over after pain and hurt and rewriting the narratives in your mind about yourself. It was a perfect read for anyone feeling stuck and showing that small changes can expand your world, what you think you’re capable of, and your capacity to find true love that makes you feel like the best & brightest version of yourself. In summary, this book made me feel hopeful.

This book was so amazing!!!!! I can’t put into words how comforting it was to read Garland coming into herself as a person, finding love and her family, and figuring out what she wants for her life. It was so much fun, I laughed and cried along the way and am excited to reread in the future!!!

What did this novel want to be, the light, swoony romance it says on the tin or a serious reflection on maturing and finding your place in the world? The premise – finding healing of childhood hurts, family and your status as part of the LGBT community at a wonderfully inclusive adult summer camp – is lovely, if a little alien to a British reader as summer camps are not part of our culture. However, the main character’s voice (inescapable as the novel is written in the first person) and the predictable trajectory of the plot make this read like a YA. I enjoy a good YA even though I’m at the other end of life now, and predictable plots can be entertaining in some cases, but this one felt a bit forced. I couldn’t warm to the main character, what I think was supposed to be her attempt at managing her – perfectly understandable – pain comes across as rather self-indulgent. The characters state on numerous occasions that they are “returning as adults now” . These frequent reminders do not make the novel feel any more like it was actually written for adult readers.
I really wanted to like this book. I did, to an extent. Ultimately though I found it unsatisfying.

If you’re bi or gay, value the bonds of family, and friends then I think you’ll enjoy this book. If you spent anytime at summer camp as a kid or counselor you will definitely relate to this book. It’s well written and flows beautifully.

I enjoyed the story and the characters, although ironically the MC was probably my least favorite of them. Much of the inner monologueing by the MC felt very long winded and redundant, especially towards the end. There was a lack of external obstacles which made the climax feel less rewarding. A singular mystical element felt very out of place and I feel weakened the story. I almost left it behind in my DNF pile a couple times but was invested enough I eventually kept coming back until I finished it.

This book was really good. I love that the author caused conflict without any unnecessary bits. It was done just right. Perhaps a little tame on the intimacy, but overall a great read. Definitely worth it.

Great read, would for sure recommend

Bridget Morrissey’s That Summer Feeling is like reading a pleasant Coming of Age Young Adult novel except with thirty-somethings and alcohol.
I enjoyed the book with its even pacing, positive female and queer representation, enviable sibling relationships, I’ve-got-your-‘six’ friendships, and the close-knit community cultivated at Camp Carl Cove, a six-day summer camp for adults.

Quick little read.. pacing was a bit fast or slow in some parts but excellent story and characters. Beautiful art at the front 😍 it would be nice is the camp continued to have love stories.

I hated the main characters name. Garland?!!!
The whole story was just corny. She found “true love” in 4-5 days? It’s all very predictable.
Great Bi representation. Easy read.

This is my first read of a Bridget Morrissey book and it certainly won’t be my last. Her style is gentle and leading one slowly through the gentle twists and turns of life in her characters. Memories of youth long since passed grew stronger as I read this story. The skill she has in her writing is evident as one proceeds through the beautiful settings and delightful growth of the characters. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it, please support the author by purchasing the book and suggesting that to your friends.
