Now they can go and be awful together

Him by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

May 5, 2024 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

Jamie Canning always wondered why his best friend from elite summer hockey camp ghosted him. He has an idea though, and it’s the semi-drunken hookup they had during their last week of camp. Still, to Jamie, one bad decision shouldn’t break up a seven-year friendship. Years later at the Frozen Four (cringe) college national championship, Jamie and Wes manage to chat a bit. It is still awkward, but they both push through it with the hopes that they can at least be friendly acquaintances. So, […]

One time at summer camp

Paul Has a Summer Job by Michel Rabagliat

February 10, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I thought this was going to be the worse book I would read this year. It was certainly angling for the one of the worse books I have read in the last few years. But Paul Has a Summer Job is far from the worse book I have ever read. Michel Rabagliati did not write something I would ever consider a favorite, but not the worse, book. When I say Helge Dascher translated an odd graphic novel that might be an exaggeration. Yet, there is […]
