Clara Millen’s life is spiraling out of control: her dream job is a nightmare, she’s resoundingly single, and it’s been years since she’s taken some time off. Thankfully, the last problem she can fix—this year she’ll join her friends on their annual summer vacation to their beloved childhood sleepover camp for a much-needed escape.
But when Clara arrives at Pine Lake Camp, she faces yet another unwelcome change: the owners are retiring and selling the property. The news turns her plans for revelry into a night of reminiscing . . . and prompts a surprise heart-to-heart between Clara and Mack, her old camp nemesis and constant competitor, who’s still just as annoying (and annoyingly handsome).
Soon the campfires aren’t all that’s throwing off sparks. And when one wildly passionate night turns into two (then too many to count!), Clara begins to wonder if she and Mack could have a future together. But when Clara’s boss finally offers her everything she’s worked so hard for, Clara will need to decide if the life she’s always wanted is the life that makes her feel truly alive
My Thoughts & Opinions
One Last Summer is a cute romantic comedy that follows a frenemies to lovers trope (my favorite.)
The story unfolds through the lens of Clara Millen, one of the main characters whose snarky sense of humor and over the top work ethic shines through in this novel. Other notable characters are Mack Sullivan, and Sam (female) Cohen who really brought the story together for a fun and humorous camping adventure.
I really enjoy how the author always manages to capture the different personalities of her characters and the players in One Last Summer are fully developed and fleshed out. Even the minor players were fun to be with.
One Last Summer is the second novel that I’ve read from author Kate Spencer, and I look foward to many more. Five awesome stars.
