Review - Sleepaway Girls by Jen Calonita

Okay here's my first review:
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/imageviewer.asp?ean=9780316017176 Okay blogger hates me so you'll have to click the link to see the cover. Summary: When Sam's best friend gets her first boyfriend, she's not ready to spend the summer listening to the two of them call each other "pookie." Sick of being a third wheel, Sam applies to be a counselor-in-training at Whispering Pines camp in the New York Catskills. But what she doesn't realize is that it's not going to be all Kumbaya sing-alongs and gooey s'mores. If Ashley, the alpha queen of Whispering Pines, doesn't ruin Sam's summer, then her raging crush on the surfer-blond and flirtatious Hunter just might. At least she has playful Cole, who's always teasing her, but is oh-so-comfortable to hang out with, and the singular gang of girls that become fast friends with Sam-they call themselves the Sleepaway Girls.

My review:
I honestly loved this book. I've gone to a week long camp for the last 3 years and this book brought back all the memories. Unlike Sam though it dosen't have CIT's, Juinor counselors, or senior counselors. You're either a counselor or camper. Well anyways this book was very well written and had a good plot line. Didn't care much for Hunter Thomas though. I thought he was a sleezebag. The little romance Ms. Calonita threw in was perfect. I mean what' camp without guys? And the swimming in the lake at camp was classic. For someone who hasen't EVER gone to CAMP before she did a really great job. Exspecially with the camp language. That I thought was really cool because not all books grasp that there's certain things that are different at camp. All in all a VERY good book!

My rating: 9/10
My favorite character: Cole
Theme song: Sideways by Dierks Bently
Will I get the next one: YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
