Emmy’s friend Brianna convinced her to go to summer camp. They were going to have a blast together if it weren’t for the fact that Brianna got sick at the last minute and had to stay home. Because of this, she had to pair up with the class clown Joe. On the other hand, her sister will be chaperoning, and Emmy will have many opportunities to speak with her crush, Tyler—that is if he wasn’t so occupied with this popular basketball girl stealing him away every chance she gets.
Joe is the class clown who often cracks jokes at others’ expense. He is best friends with Tyler and Anthony, but lately, they’ve grown closer, leaving him feeling left out when they are together. However, they managed to persuade him to join the summer camp at the last minute as a chance to spend time with them. Because he joined late, he is paired up with the quiet girl, Emmy. Even though Joe came to summer camp for his friends, he still feels unnoticed and isolated.
As a big fan of this series, I am excited to read the next installment. I loved seeing the further development of Joe’s character and his growth throughout the story. Emmy’s older sister was also a fantastic addition to the cast of characters that I really enjoyed. The summer camp setting was another highlight for me. Overall, this book was great, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the series and is looking for a fun read.
