⌛Audiobook length: 9hr 12min
🗣️Narrator: Sean Patrick Hopkins

🛶WOW- this was just the right book for me at just the right time! A sweet and tender yet actually hilarious book about a group of dads who take their young daughters to a week of summer camp to to have some one-on-one time and form a deeper bond.

🛶Of course, hilarity ensued right off the bat as the daughters and the dads were forced to become “friends” and bond. I literally laughed out loud so many times not even at the “jokes” per se but just at the constant sarcasm of the main character’s inner thoughts. Evan Porter is legitimately funny and got me several times with that rare “spit the water out of your mouth” unexpected laugh.

🛶While light and funny, there were a few deeper heartfelt moments that really resonated with me personally. One thing I loved as an asthma mom was the positive asthma representation in one of the camp kids! I feel like every time an inhaler is mentioned in a book I have to prepare myself for some extremely traumatizing and negative situation and this seemed like a breath of fresh air (pun intended) and I shed a tear during some of the asthma talk.

🛶It’s really hard for me to compare this to anything since it felt so fresh and original so I guess that in and of itself is a huge compliment to the book!

🛶I’m so excited for this debut to hit the shelves on June 11th and for everyone to fall in love with this charming story!

🎧As far as the audiobook goes, it was truly a FUN listening experience! Sean is now added to my favorite narrators lists! He really nailed the sarcasm and nuance in his voice and brought the story to life!

❓Did you ever go to summer camp as a kid? Did you like it?
