You’re one chapter into this novel and you are like: “Oh, honey, no.” Why? Because you know Del’s intentions from the start, his ‘plan’, and you know it can only end in disaster. Because changing yourself inside and out, changing who you are as a person for someone else, for love, will not make you happy.
What really gets you is when you get to know Hudson. To be honest I made wrong assumptions about him in the beginning because previous teenage books teach you that players (or playboys as cabin 7 calls them) are cocky and arrogant as heck. And while Hudson is confident, he’s also incredibly sweet and adorable. Furthermore, he has depth and flaws, and fears that make him real.
Cue you yelling at your book to finally reveal the truth to him before things get ugly. As you are privy to Del’s ‘plan’ all along, the climax is not surprising, but that’s not to say that Camp is boring. Oh, no, you’re constantly on the edge of your seat because this book is a train wreck and you’re an innocent bystander that can’t help but watch it happen. And all the yelling in the world won’t stop it. Believe me, I tried! 😉 However, the way the climax plays out will somewhat surprise you.
