THAT SUMMER FEELING - BRIDGET MORRISSEY

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️

That Summer Feeling is a fun sapphic romance. Garland and Stevie were likable and had great chemistry.  Overall I enjoyed it! It made me want to go back to adult summer camp (let’s go A-Camp!), and I had a good time with the story but felt it started a little slowly to earn that last star.  

Thanks to Berkley Publishing Group for an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Welcome to the That Summer Feeling book tour with Berkley Publishing Group. (This blog tour post is also posted on my Wordpress book review blog Whimsical Dragonette.)

Synopsis:

Turns out you're never too old for a summer camp romance. Or a change of heart. When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults only, she reconnects with a man from her past--only to catch feelings 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.

My Rating: ★★★★★

*My Review and Favorite Quotes below the cut.

My Review:

I loved this cute summer romance. The characters were fun and quirky and believable, and who doesn't want to read about thirty-somethings falling in love at their first experience of summer camp?

Garland was a great main character and I really sympathized with her. She had banked on a happy-ever-after only to find out it wasn't and end up living with her sister and driving for a ride-share program and not knowing what to do with her life. Her sister Dara was also great and I would read more about her for sure. They were both grappling with their childhood dreams of love not turning out like they'd expected and learning to embrace their choices.

I loved Stevie and her brothers. They were vibrant and boisterous and they obviously loved each other very much. They swept Garland up into the family dynamic she'd always needed and it was really sweet.

The love story was adorable and a great way to allow Garland to let go of her past expectations and embrace what she truly wanted. I was 100% there for it and I'm so happy with how it turned out. I also love the way the experience of finally getting to go to summer camp helped the sisters embrace their quirks and become more confident in themselves.

Reading this made me want to go to summer camp too. It all felt very real, and the next best thing to going myself.

*Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for providing an early copy for review.

Favorite Quotes:

She wore athletic apparel with conviction. It looked like a carefully considered ensemble on her, not something you tossed on to exercise.

---

“This is even better than I anticipated, and I anticipated a lot.”

---

She could do a great impression of me. It made me feel understood in a different way than I’d ever felt before. Most people picked up on my optimism. Stevie captured my vulnerability. The worries I hid behind the hope I projected.

---

She still smelled like a cherished memory. Like I’d known her all my life, but somehow I’d forgotten her until today.

---

My heart ached harder. As if little construction workers lived in there and they’d started building something new without a permit.

---

I enjoyed being liked, but I wanted a more accurate version of me to be seen, and I wasn’t the person I’d packed into this luggage.

---

She made me afraid to blink, because to miss even a single second was to miss something revelatory.

---

I would dance with her until the music stopped. Even then, if she wanted to keep going, I’d create music for us.

---

“You can be a different you tomorrow. You can also own the person you are today. You don’t have to hide away because you might one day change.”

Book Review: That Summer Feeling by Bridget Morrissey

TWS: Divorce, difficult parental relationships

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Garland Moore is heartbroken when her husband of two years gives her divorce papers on Valentine’s Day, especially since it comes as a complete shock to her. When her new friends invite her to Camp Carl Cove, their newly reopened adult sleepaway camp in the Blus Ridge Mountains, Garland jumps at the opportunity to reinvent herself and let go of her ex-husband. She lets go a little more than she bargained for when she falls for her roommate, Stevie.

The book’s premise is amazing. An adult summer camp?? Sapphic romance?? Yes!! I liked the characters and I enjoyed watching them do various camp activities and bond with each other. I also liked Stevie and her three brothers.

The romance was sweet, but it was definitely insta-love, which is a trope I can’t get behind. How can you fall in love with someone after you’ve only known them for six days? How can you even come to terms with your sexuality in six days? I understand that crushes can develop quickly, but not full-blown love.

Another thing that bothered me was actually one of the core aspects of the book. At the beginning, Garland has a vision of herself with Mason, Stevie’s brother. And then people just accept that?? I’m all for fantasy, when it’s actually in the fantasy genre, but her vision was weird and kind of irrelevant to a lot of the story.

Although I said I liked the characters (and I do) they were only written about on a very surface level. We know things about them, vaguely, but we don’t get that much insight into their personalities or stories. Maybe that’s just the nature of only knowing someone for six days, but I wish I’d connected with the characters more.

The writing was okay. It was a lot of telling without showing, and there were just some metaphors in Garland’s inner monologue that were so cringey that I had to roll my eyes.

I still enjoyed the book, though. It was a cute romance, if a bit rushed. I really wish the book was longer so we could see more of Garland and Stevie’s relationship and learn more about the other characters.

So either Kindle got scammed or I did. I bought an ebook copy of That Summer Feeling by Bridget Morrissey to buddy read with my friend. We BOTH got a Kindle copy that had horrible formatting.

Like whole sentences smashed into one word, paragraph spaces wrong, stuff like that. I noticed today that the author name had changed so I looked it up on Amazon to see if the author page had changed, and normally it would say in your library but it just gave me a price. I downloaded the sample and it was formatted great.

Now I can't find the scam version on But I now notice it doesn't have a copyright page. Here is the about the book for both.
