Until Next Summer by Ali Brady

The Set Up: Jessie has made camp her whole life, now the director of the camp she grew up attending. When she finds out the camp is going to be closed, she organizes an adults-only summer to give campers one last chance to say goodbye. Her former camp bestie Hillary arrives hoping to reconcile, and is even sure they can do more to save the camp. As the summer progresses, they each find summer love with former camp crushes.
I can’t resist a summer camp romance—they’re an elite romance subgenre in my book! While I loved the idea of saving a summer camp, I wanted more immersive summer camp vibes to feel connected to the setting.
The writing of this one was simple and surface level, which had me skimming the ending because I could tell how things were wrapping up and I didn’t really fully connect with the characters and their emotions.
I did appreciate that the story focused not just on romance but also on mending a friendship, which added a bit of depth to the story, but overall this wasn’t a hit for me.
