Beach Read meets Wet Hot American Summer in this nostalgic summer romance where a woman returns to work at her old camp to find her happiest single self—only to fall in love.
Fresh out of a life-derailing six-year relationship, Dana Becker would love nothing more than to turn back time. She'll have to settle for the next best thing: returning to the last place she was truly happy—the summer camp she attended as a kid. But running sports staff in your thirties is a whole lot different from being a camper as a teen, especially when you’re trying to re-learn how to be on your own and everyone keeps trying to set you up with the only other single thirty-something staffer.
Between an ultra-religious upbringing that didn’t fit and a mistake in his twenties he’s still paying for a decade later, Zeke Harris has resigned himself to a consistent, solitary life that leaves no room for relationships. But when Dana Becker pushes past his defenses without even meaning to (or wanting to), he finds himself open to possibilities he never thought existed for him.
Together, they break all their personal rules, and even a few of the camp ones. But when the heartbreaks they’ve left behind come calling as the fantasy land of Camp Moriah comes to a close, they’ll have to grapple with the pasts they’ve been avoiding if they want a chance at a future.
