But I couldn't resist chiming in for just a second to say that I think the heroine struggles HARD to be honorable with both guys at all times. That means tough decisions and and a lot of honesty, but I think she does it. Karen and I had one reviewer say "I loved Lauren, and her two boyfriend issue was something that I hadn't seen explored like it was in Camp Boyfriend" (Tyler Rose at Reading Pile), so I'm hoping that we made this triangle different and believable. Still... we know it's a hot button issue and we're anxious for more feeback on that. We're having some conversations about love triangles on Goodreads and it's been interesting. Thanks so much for considering the book :-).Joanne Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097757043575720154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-78431418833892023642013-07-27T17:20:32.128+01:002013-07-27T17:20:32.128+01:00I LOVED the prequel which really surprised me!

BUT I already know I'd have trouble with the triangle in this book - having to deal with Matt as well as Lauren's changing relationship with Seth. I don't think this would be a super fun read for me because of that. But I'm glad you enjoyed it overall and thought it was great for the summer.

You said she takes a long time to work her feelings out, so that has me worried that there will be lots of angst as she tries to make a decision.

I agree with Siiri that a good review doesn't have to mean five or even four stars. Your comments were helpful to readers seeking a fun summer romance with deeper story lines than a straight forward love triangle. It meant a great deal to show that a coming of age story is not just about boys, but about gaining a new perspective of yourself, life, and others and seeing the uselessness of labeling as well as achieving self-acceptance... Phew! Sounds rather sanctimonious for what is a fun summer book..
