Spensations: Spotlight On… Camp Boyfriend
Hey Guys,
Welcome to another installment of Spensations, the feature dedicated to books published by Spencer Hill Press, Spence City and Spencer Hill Contemporary.
Today is very very special. Why you ask? Well because we are featuring the first book to be published by new imprint Spencer Hill Contemporary.
It’s no surprise to anybody just how much I adore Spencer Hill Press and I am absolutely loving Contemporary books so to feature the first released from Spencer Hill Contemp is super exciting to me. Add to that the fact that both authors of Camp Boyfriend are great friends of mine.
Now let me introduce The Camp Boyfriend Series.
From Goodreads:
The Camp Kiss That Started It All…Lauren Carlson, a fourteen-year-old expert on the cosmos, superheroes, and science fiction trivia has a crush on her longtime camp friend, Seth. Last summer she’d dreamed about upgrading their relationship to BF/GF status and this year she has a plan… if only her well-meaning cabin mates wouldn’t interfere before she’s ready. She hasn’t even adjusted to her new braces yet, let alone imagined kissing Seth with them. When a dare pushes her out of her comfort zone, will she and Seth rocket out of the friendzone at last? There’s only one way to find out….
From Goodreads:
The summer of her dreams is about to get a reality check.They said it couldn’t be done, but geeky sophomore Lauren Carlson transformed herself into a popular girl after moving to a new school halfway across the country. Amazing what losing her braces and going out for cheerleading will do. Only trouble is, the popular crowd is wearing on Lauren’s nerves and she can’t wait to return to summer camp where she’s valued for her brain instead of her handsprings. She misses her old friends and most of all, her long time camp-only boyfriend, Seth. This year she intends to upgrade their relationship to year-round status once she’s broken up with her new, jock boyfriend, Matt. He doesn’t even begin to know the real her, a girl fascinated by the night sky who dreams of discovering new planets and galaxies.
But Matt isn’t giving her up without a fight. As he makes his case to stay together, Lauren begins to realize his feelings run deeper than she ever would have guessed. What if the guy she thought she was meant to be with forever isn’t really The One? Returning to Camp Juniper Point was supposed to ground her uprooted life, but she’s more adrift than ever. Everything feels different and soon Lauren’s friends are turning on her and both guys question what she really wants. As summer tensions escalate, Lauren wonders if she’s changed more than she thought. Will her first big discovery be herself?
There are no words to explain just how excited I am for this book! I absolutely adored the Prequel and cannot wait to read this book! I just know it will be fantastic and I have already chosen my team #TeamSethFTW
I fell head over heels in love with the world of Camp, something I personally have never experienced since we don’t really ‘do’ camp in England. I also fell for Joanne and Karen’s writing style. It was amazing.
The Camp Boyfriend Series will look like this…
Now I am very very excited to welcome the amazing Joanne and Karen Rock to the blog:

I can't wait for this series! It sounds like so much fun. Camp isn't something I was ever able to take part in as a child/teen so I'm anxious to experience that part of of life through your books. Your Skype sessions sound wonderful. I'll have to get my "editors" to do that with me, too!
Good luck! I know your books are going to do great!

I've read Camp Kiss and I can't wait to read Camp Boyfriend. I've never been to camp (we don't really have those here in the Philippines) so I'm really interested in reading a book set in that environment. 🙂

BBC for the television series of the same name.
Reznor has been commercially successful without compromising his art and is
