Thank you to St. Martin's Press for providing an e-arc via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

this was simply such a delightful read with everything i expected going into this young adult novel of a girl going about her first teenage experiences and socializations out of her comfort zone in a shakespearean theater camp! bea being a homeschooled sixteen year old who got into oxford, it's pretty reasonable why her parents did this wanting her to get out and experience the real world. she was a bit unbearable to me at times with her overanalyzing, though not as much as shelby was, but bea was definitely understandable due to her upbringing how she expected life to cater to her and thought she could prepare for every possible situation, right off the bat, i adored bea and nik's dynamic instantly. nikhil shah being the resident golden boy with genuine admirable acting talent, whose parents founded the camp, and bea basically being the resident genius made for such an electric banter/argument chemistry that was right up my alley. they truly had me reading with the biggest grin on my face. with bea, with a checklist from her parents and her new friends adding to the list making it more daring, this overall story concept is something i think would be such a good romcom movie. though i do wish we got more from the ending and an epilogue, but that's just a personal preference. long story short is a book i would highly recommend to anyone in need of a quick, teen cliché, leisurely summer read!!
