Book Spotlight: That Summer Feeling

Last year, I loved Bridget Morrissey’s romance, A Thousand Miles. Now she has another romance out that is high on my to-read list: That Summer Feeling. Newly divorced, Garland Moore accepts some new friends’ invitation to stay at their sleepaway camp. While there, she runs into the man that got away… but when she rooms with his sister, Garland starts developing feelings for her instead. Over the course of one summer, will Garland find love again? And if so, with whom?

There’s something nostalgic and idyllic about a summer camp setting, and I like that Bridget Morrissey flips it on its head by starring adult characters. Instead of teen drama, we get to see how adults behave in such an environment, complete with the time constraint upon summer’s end. That Summer Feeling looks like a lot of fun, with the two different love interests, as well as emotional, given the divorce that starts it all. Now is the perfect time to read this sapphic romance, because Pride Month starts tomorrow!

Find out more about it below, and let me know if you’re planning to pick up That Summer Feeling. If you’ve already read it, let me know how you liked it in the comments! I’m hoping to read it soon, so stay tuned for my review.

When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults, she reconnects with a man from her past—only to fall head over heels for his sister instead. 
 
Garland Moore used to believe in magic, the power of optimism, and signs from the universe. Then her husband surprised her with divorce papers over Valentine’s Day dinner. Now Garland isn’t sure what to believe anymore, except that she’s clearly never meant to love again. When new friends invite her to spend a week at their reopened sleepaway camp, she and her sister decide it’s an opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer getaway they never had as kids. If Garland still believed in signs, this would sure seem like one. Summer camp is a chance to let go of her past and start fresh.
 
Nestled into the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Camp Carl Cove provides the exact escape Garland always dreamed of, until she runs into Mason—the man she had a premonition about after one brief meeting years ago. No matter how she tries to run, the universe appears determined to bring love back into Garland’s life. She even ends up rooming with Mason’s sister Stevie, a vibrant former park ranger who is as charming as she is competitive. The more time Garland spends with Stevie, the more the signs confuse her. The stars are aligning in a way Garland never could have predicted.
 
Amid camp tournaments and moonlit dances, Garland continues to be pulled toward the beautiful blonde outdoorswoman who makes her laugh and swoon. Summer camp doesn’t last forever, but if Garland can learn to trust her heart, the love she finds there just might.
