⭐⭐⭐
Erotic romance (with more focus on erotica) writer Meghan O’Brien
has created some interesting characters in Camp Rewind.
Alice Wu suffers from social anxiety. She is almost debilitatingly
shy. Not many authors have dealt with shyness and the trauma shy people face in
their interactions. O’Brien has done that in this book and has Alice’s
counterpoint in Rosa Salazar, who first recognises Alice’s shyness and then
handles it with sensitivity and patience.
Rosa comes with her own baggage which also plays up during
the weekend affair in the camp. Yes, it is supposed to be just a weekend that
the two girls spend together, but the author does a good job in making us
believe that such strong emotions and huge impact on personality are possible
in this relatively short period of time.
The openness about sex, voyeurism, exhibitionism displayed
by all folks in the camp is a little weird, but works. Though, if you
are susceptible, it may mess your mind into believing that all people are like
that. Be warned and when you read this, always, always keep in mind this is how
the author would like world to be, but it isn’t.
Since O’Brien also seems to be a romantic, her books have HEA,
which is always a big plus to us. Like all books from this author, the sex, the
making-out and the huge chemistry is excellently written.
