Camp Boyfriend

review 1: I have received an ARC via NetGalleyIt was a sweet story - but YA is not my cup of tea ;)While I liked the writing style, the story was sometimes confusing: why would Alex do the things she despised before?Why does Javier have a mother complex?I felt like "working" through the book to come to an end, but I can imagine that "Camp Payback" could be an easy summer read for younger audiences (than me).
review 2: While I really enjoyed Camp Boyfriend, I loved Camp Payback more. Alex is a great character. She really grows during this story and I felt for her. Her home life isn’t great at all and she wants to escape to camp for a while, but her ex-boyfriend ruins camp for her immediately. Determined to get back at him, Alex pretends she’s dating someone else and k... moreisses the fist guy she sees. That guy is Javier, who is off-limits because he’s working at the camp and he’s forbidden to date any of the campers. Javier’s situation is delicate and he can’t have Alex screwing things up for him or he’ll wind up back in foster care. But his attempts to keep Alex at bay fail and the two wind up falling for each other. That means sneaking around so Javier doesn’t get kicked out of camp and back into a foster home. But trouble is brewing for Alex in more than one place and she risks losing everything, including Javier.I had a hard time putting this book down because I was dying to see what would happen next. I loved getting a closer look at Alex, who is very different from the character we saw in Camp Boyfriend. There’s a lot to this girl. No spoilers but the ending does jump ahead a bit, which is something I don’t typically like, but it totally worked in this book. I highly recommend putting Camp Payback on your summer reading list. Bring on the next book JK Rock! less
