Publisher's summary

They’re finally getting a second chance with their first love!

Phoebe
The first summer I have my freedom from the religious cult I was raised in, my grandmother sends me to a summer camp for teens. There I learned to swim, how to dress like a ‘normal’ girl, how to wear lipstick, and most importantly, I fell in love. But like all summer romances, ours had to end. Until we find ourselves back at the place where it all began…

Luna
I never forgot the girl I fell in love with at camp, but we were only teens then. We both grew up and moved on. Nostalgia makes me agree to volunteer at the same summer camp where I spent so many happy days. But when I see Phoebe again, I realize fate may have had a hand in our coming back together.

She says that she just wants to be friends this time around, so I make it my mission to wear her down and remind her how much fun it is to let loose and have some fun. We live in different states and have very different lives, but I’m determined to make this work.

They fell in love at first sight, and second sight too. Can they find forever?

Ugh A.I

It’s a very cute story. AI narration sucks If this is what the future holds I don’t look forward to it.

Testing Virtual Voice

Interesting structure to tell this story. Characters are not voiced with enough difference. Some lingo needs to be more specific (“hoa” > H.O.A.; “spaghetti os” > spaghetti OH’s). Virtual Voice is not what I want to hear at this time.

Interesting story

I like the plot a lot. I believe it had great potential. This reminds me of the way I wrote when I was fifteen. There are many instances that were cringy, but it was a cute and heartfelt story.

Interesting concept

Story lacking. Missing depth. Topics of cult and LGBTQ interesting. Computer generated speech was very irritating.
