thank you!!! the first book ive actually started and finished reading in like, 5 or more years!! I was reading the comic version on webtoon and i couldnt wait for the next chapters so i just went and bought the book, and it didnt disappoint. I actually prefer the book version as Emma's personality, struggles and her journey were the main focus and were a lot more developed. Loved Vivian and her mom in the book too, it was a breeze to read, made me wish i was there to learn how to cook with someone as understanding and kind as her mother. Lauren is actually irredeemable in the book, i'm warming up to her in the comic but in the book theres just no way to like or forgive her, i understand her motives and all but shes just, a bad person.. and that, is what makes her interesting, shes flawed, human. I liked the way things were resolved with jessie. Emma is a sweetheart, i adored her journey of facing her fears and befriending the entirety of Vivians family.… (altro)

The summer before Emma Lane's eighteenth birthday is the last summer she will have to return to York Beach, Maine for the court ordered two months of visitation with her mother. Since Emma came out as gay at the age of twelve, her mother has been unaccepting of her sexuality, distant and divorced her father. Now, Emma returns to York Beach only to be dumped at Camp Maplewood where she suffered a traumatic episode several years before throwing Emma into a depression complete with PTSD while her mother jet sets around the world with her new husband. Emma immediately sets out to get herself thrown out of camp by breaking into the shed holding the camper's phones only to be thwarted at every attempt by counselor Vivian Black. As Emma deals with her worst fears at camp, she makes a friend in chipper, outgoing Gwen Black and a passion for cooking with Julie Black, the camp cook. Each time Emma even thinks about doing something to get herself kicked out, Vivian seems to be a step ahead, helping Emma through her fears and getting to know her well, maybe even more.

Night Owls and Summer Skies is a perfect summer romance. I loved that Emma's character was already secure in her sexuality and that finding her sexuality was not the main point of the book, this was simply a romance. Emma's character also had deeper issues such as her depression and PTSD which still affect her, but don't define her. The writing brought me into Emma's head and at times I felt like I was having a panic attack along with her. Emma's growth at camp was amazing to read through. From dealing with bullies, making friends, finding a hobby she enjoys and learning how to trust again along with slowly recovering from her trauma from years before. Emma and Vivian's relationship felt natural and unhurried as they simply fell into one another. I did find it a little weird that they were counselor and camper, although they were only one year apart in age. I do wish there was some growth for Emma's mother along with some of the other campers; however, it is Emma's story. Overall, a fun summer romance.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
