What a fun book - I mean honestly, this was just fun and romantic and adorable and such an excellent companion to Anderson's first book. I really don't know what to say beyond that . . . is this a book I would purchase for the collection? Absolutely! Do I love that you can read this without having read Anderson's first book? Sure thing! Will I recommend this to every single person I know? Very likely! Books like this are a breath of fresh air because while it touches on some pretty heavy topics, particularly as they relate to families, at the end of the day it's a very sweet novel that teens can easily relate to and will appreciate. Seriously, another great novel from Lily Anderson!

Lily Anderson wrote a nerdy contemporary YA and it was the best thing in the world. Now I know I have to read the one before this one because the ship (and various characters) appear in this book but OLDER. So they're in the age of NA and that makes me want to scream so I want to read it because I just know I'll love it a lot.

I also loved this one a lot obviously *stares at rating* I'm a sucker for nerdy romances. Or nerdy theme in books. It's one of my favorite tropes/theme/kinks around. So what happens is that Ever, our protagonist, runs away to summer camp instead of going to air force camp and she changes her name (a nickname) and her last name (her other last name). But she goes to summer camp OF GENIUSES. Lit all of the people in this camp are geniuses. They know so much and are A+ amazing woah like for real. Ever meets so many great people including her new roomate Leigh who is freaking amazing, and Brandon, a boy who has long bangs, thick eyebrows, has a typewriter instead of a laptop and loveeees math.

Everything about this book is so adorable and FUN. It never got tiresome or boring or like I needed to stop. I binge read this mf book you all. It's so GOOOOOOD. It's the perfect summer book that for sure will make you smile and cry.

Something about this nerdtastic book was so refreshing. And the ending was unexpected, to me anyway. I'm not sure that it is the ending I would have wanted, but the fact that it was unexpected is a good thing!

I liked the author's first book, but this book is basically just a repeat of it with a slightly different setting and sort-of different characters.
