Only You in Everything

by Jennifer Ann Shore

I’m in love with Will Moreno.

I have been my entire life, and it’s not some wayward crush on my best friend’s brother—it’s the real deal.

Our shared history is complicated. We both have lasting emotional and physical damage from a freak bike accident when we were kids, and it’s held us back.

I’m determined to change that, and this summer might be our last chance.

We’re both working at Camp Creek—along with my best friend and Will’s twin brother Bellamy—before we head off to college in the fall. I’ll be managing the art program, adjusting to a new roommate, and chaperoning campers while also trying to create a masterpiece that will land me an internship to help jump-start my artistic career.

I’m a little uninspired, though, because even being surrounded by art and the beauty of nature, nothing compares to the way Will makes me feel.

Cameron has known the Moreno twins almost her whole 18-year old life. Bellamy is her best friend and she's been in love with Will for as long as she can remember. Now all three of them will work at Camp Creek during the summer, before they're off to college in the fall. Cameron's in charge of the art program, and at the same time she's trying to put together a piece of art to get her an internship. It also feels like it's her last chance to convince Will that they should be more than friends.

A beautiful YA novel, well described, about that wonderful, yet nervous, time when you're about to step into the adult world! When you feel both anticipation and dread about the future. We can all relate to that!

I love the characters and their personalities, and that there's diversity, such as transgender and Cuban heritage. Will also suffers from both physical and mental scars after a bike accident when they were children. Some of the side characters (Tori and Eden!) are amazing, and I already miss hanging out with all of them!

“This feels very Titanic, you know,” he says lightly.
I chuckle. “I haven’t asked you to pose nude.”
Will shuffles a bit, adjusting his posture to get more snug. “And, worse, you haven’t offered me a massive diamond necklace.”
“Not yet,” I say, which makes him laugh. “Okay, now, can you try to stay somewhat still?”
“Can I breathe?” he asks playfully.
“I hope so.” I pick up a piece of charcoal and my sketchbook. “Stop distracting me. I need to focus.”
The corner of his mouth ticks up. “So demanding.”

Wow! This book was wonderful. I loved the story, the exciting events, and just everything about it. And how pretty is the cover?? I love this author’s writing style. The stories just flow. I loved how the characters ended up together. And how the main focus wasn’t just the romance, it was the background for the people and how they became better people. I can’t wait for what this author releases next!

“Art is like finding the perfect song to match the moment, only I get to capture it and make the feeling permanent.”

Will’s scar signifies so much more than an accident… can Cameron show him the beauty of the world starts with that same scar? Cameron is in love with Will, her best friend’s brother, but as they say in the movies, love doesn’t seem like a big enough word for how she feels. They grew up together, living next door to each other, their lives firmly entwined and fraught with emotion. A bike accident left both her and Will scarred, both physically and emotionally. While she sees the beauty of Will’s scar, he does not.


It’s the last summer before they go off to college and they’re all working at Camp Creek, the same camp where they’ve all gone since they were in grade school. Being an artist, Cameron is in charge of the arts program at Camp Creek. The summer is going to be one summer Cameron will never forget. She’s got one summer to convince Will he’s her muse, her first love, and her best friend. Can she succeed in convincing Will to take the plunge, or will she be broken-hearted, again?

Only You in Everything is one of the best YA romances I’ve ever read. From the first page to the last, I couldn’t stop reading. I connected with Cameron in so many ways. The setting of a summer camp brought back so many memories for me. I loved summer camp as a kid and a teen. The last year of summer camp was bittersweet, just like it is for Cameron. The descriptive narration sucks the reader in and doesn’t let go until the very end. Jennifer Ann Shore is an award-winning bestseller with all the accolades, yet this book is her masterpiece. Everything about falling in love, moving from teen to adult, summer camp, stepping out of your comfort zone, friendships, and more is beautifully portrayed in Only You in Everything. The angst, the emotion, the conflict, the artistic inspiration moved me to tears. A heart-wrenching young adult story, Only You in Everything will remind you of the freedom of youth and exploring what really matters in life. Highly recommend!

Such a fun, heartwarming quick read. Cameron, Will & Bellamy have been best friends for ages, each going through their own struggles while growing into the people they want to become.

Cameron has a lot on her mind and a gift for art, but creators block is keeping her from finishing the piece that will decide her future.

Will has a strong character, but has to learn alot about feeling what is needed to move on.

Bellamy is an amazing cook, always cheerfull, and have I mentioned premium best-friend material?

And then there are all the other amazing people in this story, with each their lovely quirks and development. This is a quick read -wich actually made me a bit sad because I wanted so much more- about love, growing up, lgbtq+, art and so much more inclusive topics. I have nothing bad to say about this. It made me feel warm and fussy inside and it was exactly what I hoped for. Loved it!!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review, my opinion however is entirely my own.

How beautiful is the cover for this book?! This is what got my attention first, i’m totally a book cover addict!!!


I loved this book from start to finish, loved the authors style of writing and the Characters within - I was totally rooting for Cameron & Will from the get go!! I was thrilled with the addition of LGBTQ in the story with Bellamy being trans. It was super sweet he found someone who was not at all bothered by who he was. 


This is one of the best YA romance novels ive read in a long time. the narration draws you in and you find yourself relating to the characters. Only You in Everything reminds you of the bittersweetness of youth and what really matters in life, it has you feeling all the emotions from happiness right through to sadness. It’s a true gem of a book. I cannot wait to read more by Jennifer Ann Shore.

Will and Cameron are friends and they’re so sweet together. Cammie has had a crush on Will since forever. The previous year she told him she had feelings for him but he said he only wanted to be friends. This is going to be their last year as summer camp counselors, Will is going to be hard to leave behind. Bellamy and Will are twins and Cuban, like me. So right away I
Feel like I know them. This story is about relationships, young love and their struggle. I loved all the players and their story, I’m giving this book five stars and recommending it.

[Aisha Rowbottom-Isaacs · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't tell you what I expected from this story and if you asked me what it was about, I couldn't tell you. Halfway through, it still felt like it was just starting because nothing had happened. Cameron spent most of her monologue covertly pinning after Will and when they eventually ended up together it really wasn't all that satisfying.

Instead of Cameron's retelling of their past and how she previously told him how she felt, a flashback would've been much more visceral. In the end it just all felt a little anticlimactic.

I loved the little moments between Cameron and Bellamy but in the same way that her and Will's eventual love story fell flat, so too did her and his twin brother's friendship. It was all just so surface level. I wasn't excited or emotional. More often than not I was bored. I ended up skimming a lot of the story.

It was a sweet, well written story, with a great Summer camp setting that gave it a picturesque background but it was just underwhelming. It needed a little something more to push it from banal and average to exceptional.

Thanks to Book Sirens for this gifted ebook in exchanged for an honest review.

Only you in everything me ha parecido una historia refrescante perfecta para el verano.

Cameron ha vivido toda su vida sin separarse de sus vecinos, Will y Bellamy, y este va a ser el último verano que estén juntos antes de ir a la universidad, por lo que la mejor manera de hacerlo es volver al campamento (como cada años) pero esta vez como monitores. Además de ser la monitora de arte, Cameron tiene que terminar su propio proyecto para conseguir un puesto de prácticas en una galería de arte y lidiar con los sentimientos que todavía tiene por Will.

La historia me ha gustado mucho porque enganchaba y por sus personajes. Cameron siempre ha estado enamorada de Will, pero a raíz de un accidente que tuvieron de niños su relación cambió un poco. Will quedó marcado, y esa marca es la que ha inspirado a Cameron en sus obras de arte. Will ha mantenido la amistad con Cameron, pero sigue algo distanciado. Bellamy (personaje trans) es el hermano de Will y mejor amigo de Cameron, es como un soplo de aire fresco entre los personajes, al igual que Tori, la compañera de cabaña de Cameron y una chica fuerte e independiente. Además quiero hacer hincapié en Eden, una de las pequeñas campistas, que en algunos momentos demuestra más madurez que los propios protagonistas.

Un romance juvenil, con momentos tensos y divertidos, que recomiendo mucho.

*Muchas gracias a la autora por la copia avanzada. Esta reseña es honesta y voluntaria.*

-------------------------------------

Only you in everything is the perfect refreshing story for summer reading.

Cameron has lived her entire life in close quarters with her neighbors, Will and Bellamy, and this is going to be the last summer they'll be together before going off to college, so the best way to do that is to go back to Camp Creek (like every year), but this time as monitors. In addition to being the art instructor, Cameron has to finish her own project to get an internship at an art gallery and deal with the feelings she still has for Will.

I liked the story a lot because it was hooking and because of its characters. Cameron has always been in love with Will, but as a result of an accident they had as children, their relationship changed a bit. Will was marked, and that mark is what has inspired Cameron in her artwork. Will has remained friends with Cameron, but remains somewhat estranged. Bellamy (trans character) is Will's brother and Cameron's best friend, he is like a breath of fresh air between the characters, as is Tori, Cameron's cabin mate and a strong and independent girl. I also want to emphasize Eden, one of the little campers, who at times shows more maturity than the main characters themselves.

A young adult romance, with tense and funny moments, that I highly recommend.

Title: Only You in Everything
Author: Jennifer Ann Shore
Ratings: 4 stars

Only You in Everything follows our main character, Cameron who has been in a one-sided love with her best friend’s brother. They shared a convoluted history; both suffered long-term emotional and physical scars from a bike accident that happened when they were kids. And that day put a strain on their relationship. Fast forward, they were both teenagers now and Cameron decided to turn it back especially it is summer and both of them are working for Camp Creek, and Cameron has to deal with both the emotional damage between them and also keep her feelings together. With her best friend, her newfound friend slash roommate, and her passion for arts, Cameron is ought to find out if this summer might be the best before they go their own way into college, or not.

My thoughts:
What a wonderful book! Only You in Everything has gripped me from the beginning till the last page, and I never wanted to read more pages until Jennifer Ann Shore. Let me tell you why.
Firstly, this book has everything I want in a sweet and chill romance read. The pacing of the story is adequately medium but also fast at a certain point, which makes it easier to turn the pages. You’ll not have time to put this book down, trust me. The settings of any typical YA romance (basically anything revolves around high-school themes/college love stories) usually put me off but the author convinced me the exact opposite. I don’t care if the theme in this book is cliché because her flawless writing makes up for it. The characters are so adorable and lovable, and I especially love our main character, Cameron who is acting like an actual teenager who knows how to use her brain correctly. Many times we see teenagers making a stupid, cliché-y, and dumb decision out of spite or petty reasons, but thankfully, Cameron is behaving like a real human being with great common sense. She is self-collected, wise and I would say she manages her unrequited crush quite well. That’s so mature of her and I like that. We need more girl teenagers like this in young adult books instead of a bunch of bimbos.
There are enough romance, heartache, and emotions packed with a little cliché storyline but who’s complaining? Not me. Definitely, a cute, relaxing, and fun read!

I loved Jennifer Ann Shore's book which is the story of Cameron, a teenager who is heading to Camp Creek for her final season helping out and is doing this with her lifelong friends, Bellamy and Will. It is something to be savoured for the memories to be made but also holds sadness as it is the end of an era. Add to this the fact that Will is the love of her life and you have the makings of a romantic teen novel, set in the wilds with all the exploration and uncertainties that this situation presents.

The bedrock of all good romantic fiction is the "will-they won't-they" scenario where two characters who seem like they should be destined to be together have difficulty actually getting there. The narrative is told from Cameron's perspective throughout and she is a smart girl who is thoroughly likeable who, like most teens, has moments of uncertainty where she is unsure of signals sent and impressions made as well as lacking awareness about the way that she is perceived by others: that all important self-assurance and self-knowledge. But she is not tortured so this is not a book that concentrates on angst: it centres more on the need for openness and communication; in having the conversation and getting to the true feelings that underpin everything.

The novel is full of snappy dialogue which I loved. The exchanges between all of the characters ring true for their ages and their concerns and they brought them all to life for me, again one of the key components, for me, of good fiction. Tori as the messy roommate and Bellamy as Cameron's best friend of whom she feels protective as well as Piper, the sister with terrible taste in men - they were all clearly delineated.

Books like this for me are pure escapism: they have great storytelling which is not too complex but is relatable on a human level, creating emotions and, in this case, prompting memories of past times which were bitter sweet; they are inhabited by people who are believable; they show kindness and friendship of a type that warms the heart and leaves you, as a reader, warmer as a result.

I will definitely read more of Shore's work which I hope will replicate this feeling over and over.

This book right here is exactly why I love this specific trope in romance. Sweet, emotional, and filled with wonderful life lessons I still appreciate in my mid-30s.

Cameron is best friends with Bellamy, who happens to be in the process of transitioning into a man. Let me just say I LOVED the care and ease in which he was spoken of in this book. I often forgot he was transitioning because he just “was.” Cameron’s also been in love with Bellamy’s brother, Will, for forever. But because of a tragic accident when they were children, Will continuously pushes her away and lives in denial. The three of them, along with an amazing cast of side characters (Tori!) are spending their last summer before college at the camp they all attended.

This story was sweet and clean. Cameron was a very mature young woman. I was impressed with her openness and honesty. Very refreshing in any type of romance. My heart ached for Will. I completely understood where he was coming from, but I LOVED him when Cameron showed him her truth and he was speechless. It almost made me cry because it was a beautiful moment. Their love was under the surface the entire time and witnessed in the small touches and looks. I’m SO happy they got their HEA. Because that’s what they’ll have even though they’re still young.

Only You In Everything is the second book I've read by author Jennifer Ann Shore and I am so happy to find her work. This is another sweet young adult romance that is content appropriate for young teens. There was some drinking and hooking up but nothing explicit and the age of the characters are graduated seniors the summer before college.

Only You In Everything takes place over the course of a summer where the MC Cameron is hoping to make the ultimate memories with her best Bellamy and his twin brother Will. The trio has grown up together and spent every moment as one until a tragic accident at age eight permanently changed their dynamic. Summer is the first place that started to heal the rift between the group so it holds a special importance to Cameron. This will be the trio's last summer together at camp so Cameron really needs it to count.

This story is about second chances and finding a way to forgive and let go. Cameron holds onto a ton of guilt from an incident far in the friends' past. All has been forgiven, but she needs to learn how to forgive herself. There are new friends that are made that help Cameron to see herself in another light. She challenges herself to step out of her normal comfort zone.

There is strong character development as well as wonderful relationships in Shore's work. She really has a way of writing strong young adults without falling into the clichéd themes of bullying, girls putting girls down, boys trying to be too macho etc. This story was fun to read and made me nostalgic for the books I loved to read when I was in elementary school about summers at camp. And yes there is plenty of romance included in this read. I truly appreciate Jennifer Ann Shores' style of writing uplifting and admirable young adults.

This book is a heartfelt and true coming of age story of three childhood bestfriends having their last summer before going to college by Fall in the summer camp they've been went to for years.

It tackles the swift and uncertainty feelings of facing a major change in life, one step away into adulthood, made peace with the past trauma, pursuing dreams and the dilemma surrounding it, friendship and involving some romantic feelings issues which make this novel a compact YA book that has proper and fair proportion of them all. Not to mention the friends to lovers trope and the transgender representation on this too! I had fun and felt relax while reading this. Feels like I've spend some times in the camp and it's refreshing to read.

As for the characters, the more you're into the book the more you'll feel how strong the bond between Cameron and Will, as well as the bonding of their friendship along with Bellamy! It'll show you how their relationship metamorphosis from childhood friends that way too care about each other, basked with a different perspectives/ideas about their connection insecurities, and finally being able to be vulnerable and bare their hearts out. They're also bunch of adorable side characters too (I love Eden's sharpness and quick-wit!) and cute and heart warming scenes on it. It's my first time reading a book from the author, and I think I just fall in love by how the words waived to tells the story in the simple way but hold much beauty and grasps your emotions well, just like a poetry. And I absolutely love the message of this book, it's totally resonates well with me. I'd recommend it for those who fancy a quick and light read!

"I repeat the motions in the loudest silence I've ever been subjected to, and after the fifth time I emphasize Will's definitive mark in my pieces, I drop my brush and turn to him. "Don't you see?" I implore, taking in his narrowed eyes and closed-off posture. "There is no you holding me back. There is only you in everything.""

Cameron and Bellamy are best friends. Bellamy and Will are brothers. Cameron has been in love with Will for as long as she can remember. And to her knowledge, he doesn't feel the same. However, with college on the horizon, the three of them feel that change is coming and hope for one last summer of greatness at camp, where they are all working, before the change hits. Memories are made, conversations are had, feelings are shared. But does Will finally realize what has been standing in front of him the whole time? Can he move past "the incident" that left him permanently scared and let himself be who is he with Cameron?

As a kid who grew up going to camp every summer, I absolutely loved this book! I quickly was whisked back to the magic of camp in the mountains and all that it entails - the friends, the memories, and of course the art cabin. Jennifer Ann Shore does a great job making this story, and the characters, relatable but complex enough that they aren't predictable. The emotions she is able to portray tug at the heart and make you root for everyone's happiness.

This story is beautiful! That is all I have to say. Cameron and Will are perfectly imperfect. Will's scar is something he despises, but Cameron does not think that way. And she wants Will to feel the same way. (This will make more sense after reading the blurb.) Anyway, in short you need to read this ASAP!

An accident interferes with their relationship.

I found this story very enjoyable. Clean enough romance for most ages.

I liked how the characters are written and how they each bring out their differences with having issues with each other.

In this book, Cameron is trying to have a good experience at Camp Creek where she is in charge of the arts portion of the activities. This is the last year she will be at the camp, along with her best friend Bellamy and his twin brother Will. She has always been in love with Will for as long as she has known him. Will has told her he only wants to be friends, so she is trying very hard to respect his wishes

As the summer goes by she has found it hard to be just friends with him. She believes that she knows how he feels about her because it seems like he barely tolerates her most of the time.

When one of the counselors is sick for the overnight campout activities, Cameron is assigned to help Will with the group going kayaking. They find themselves short a tent and she has to share with him. This is when he truly confuses her. After the trip she demands answers.

The answers she gets and how things end is worth the read.

3/5

Underwhelming is the one word I would use to describe this book. The summary sets us up for a cute summer romance at a summer camp, which we got, but it was definitely missing a lot.

First of all I did not care for either the MC or the love interest, both were just insanely bland and I couldn’t even tell you a defining feature they both had. Cameron’s only personality trait was Pining after will who was about as interesting as a shoelace. Of course it was childhood friends to lovers which was cute in itself but other than about two sentences this book was hardly a romance.

They had absolutely no chemistry whatsoever and they barely even talked throughout the book.

I appreciated the side characters, in specific Tori and Bellamy, and I honestly just wish this book was about them. I adored the transgender rep and the diverse characters with a large range of backgrounds, that’s the part that made this book stand out. Tori was adorable and her relationship with belamy was the only thing keeping me from putting down this book.

Basically this was a let down and Cameron was annoying lol.

Cameron and Will have got to be the cutest!

Cameron has been best friend since she was four years old with the Moreno twins, Bellamy and Will.
They’ve spent every summer at Camp Creek and are now volunteering during their last summer before college. Cameron one an artist, and is on a time crunch to submit a leave for an internship in college.

A few year ago, during a freak accident, Will was injured and has a s at in his face that Bellamy incorporated into everything she paints. After all, she’s been in love with him her entire life. Even if he doesn’t feel the same.

During a wild summer… Cameron, Will, and Bellamy all start to come to terms with the fact that life is going to move on and this summer is a time to say goodbye. And with the help of a new friend, Tori, the crew has adventure, romance, and a final summer for the books.

Jennifer Ann Shite did a great job of building characters and a world that we can all relate to ii this book. It’s been a joy to read her work!

Jennifer Ann Shore does teenage drama better than anyone. She hits the mark, once again, with her newest novel, Only You in Everything. The angst is delicious and satisfying. It is always an amazing experience to read a Jennifer Ann Shore novel.

Jennifer Ann Shore does something with her writing that I’ve not seen in many novels. Jennifer’s books include characters from the LGBTQ+ community. But the stories are not about their identities. These are absolutely normal characters with normal lives. The way Shore narrates normality makes me come alive. Shore amazes me in how she gives everyone a voice.

I award Only You in Everything a full 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to everyone who loves a good teenage romance. The writing is poignant and caused a lot of sobbing while reading. But, this is one of Jennifer’s best books yet.

I was given a copy of this book with a request for an honest review.

[Brittany Richmond · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jennifer Ann Shore is an *amazing* author who never fails to amaze me and make me leave a book-verse feeling so happy and fulfilled! I love Cameron and the Moreno brothers and Tori. I could go on about Tori! She is that friend that everyone has in their life. So awesome! The camp is a place I would love to go, especially to go see the art cabin and meet Eden. I love the LGBT+ representation and how they were given lives and brave people in their life. It was so wholesome, like this entire book!

I do wish that this book went a tad slower with Eden and with the development with Will at the camp. It happened quick and I love sitting in the development stages of a relationship.

4/5 stars for a wonderful light, wholesome, and summer camp type of love story!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. It is a YA best friends to lovers romance book with a HEA ending.
Cameron and the Moreno twins, Bellamy and Will, have grown up together and been best friends since they became neighbors. They have all just graduated high school and are doing one last summer together working at Camp Creek summer camp before they all head in different directions for college. Cameron has been in love with Will since she was four years old but after last summers attempt to tell him how she felt and him not feeling the same she has struggled with their friendship. She is an art major and is applying for an internship. If she can ever make a piece she is comfortable submitting.
I enjoyed this sweet romance book. It shows you true struggles that teens have these days. This was by first book by this author and I will definitely be reading more.

This YA story is a sweet tale reminiscent of John Green books. Jennifer Shore’s writing perfectly encapsulates the angst, confusion and emotional relationships of the high school years. Cameron has been friends with Bellamy and Will since they were young kids. She actually is in love with Will and tries to keep it deep inside. I loved the four core characters: Will, Cameron, Bellamy and Tori. The story unfolds the summer before college where all four are camp counselors. They grow and learn a lot that summer - a lot about each other and themselves. I wholeheartedly recommend this book - whether an actual teen or someone who likes to read YA (ME!), this book delivers!

This was such a sweet young adult love story. Teenage-me would’ve absolutely loved this book! I have to admit that adult-me thoroughly enjoyed it as well. A quick and light read - just what I needed. The friendships portrayed in this book were beautiful (you can’t help but love Tori and Bellamy!!). I’m such a sucker for the friends to lovers trope, so I ate this up.

Thank you to Jennifer Ann Shore for providing me an ebook copy of Only You in Everything for me to read and review. What a unique story! I very quickly got hooked on the characters and did not want to put it down. I loved that it was a sweet romance, but the unique setting and life experiences of the characters made it a breath of fresh air in an often predictable genre. The portrayal of long-time close friends and summer camp setting made this story so easy to relate to and feel invested in. The characters were created with great thoughtfulness and depth, with many varied personalities both introverted and extroverted! It was great to see the inclusion of a trans character in a genre dominated typically by cis gendered characters. Definitely one to read for any romance lovers!

So adorable 😍

I bought this book because the cover intrigued me. All I knew about it was that it was a romance and I couldn't wait to read it. Since I went into it blindly I didn't really know what it was about.

This book was so adorable and sweet and cute and everything good that love has to offer. I am so happy I decided to read it. It made me want a love like the one Will and Cam had.

I also adore what Shore did with Bellamy. I think it's my favorite thing about this book, how unimportant his sexuality is, how natural and amazing his support system is and how good it felt to give him his own love story.

I highly recommend this book.

I liked this book. However I did find some of it going on in places and was too long at times.

The main characters were nice and the events that happened in their lives at a young age, leading to where they ended was good. You could see the characters change during the book. Grow and mature.

I did enjoy the romance and the build up of the relationships.

Overhaul it was a good book, even though it wasn’t my favourite book. I will try new books from this author in the future.

Overall, this was a beautiful story. I love the title and the artwork on the cover. I thought the charaters were very well thought out and written fantastically. This story touches on many issues that people struggle with and it was nice to see that in a book. I love that Bellamy is just accepted and loved as he is with no rudeness or discrimination.
A good story that I would encourage my young adults to read for themselves.

For such a sweet and adorable story, it felt very flat.

I think it was cute and well-written, but I didn't feel very much depth in any of the relationships; including between the twins. On paper, it felt okay, but if you look closely at their bonds, you won't see any details. Just banter and the occasional change in emotion.

It's not re-read material, for me, but it read quickly and helped a boring day pass at work.

I received a free ARC of this book and am leaving a voluntary and honest review.

This book was such a good book. It brought foreword topics like transgender, bullying and physical deformation. I loved getting to see the book through Cameron’s and Will’s perspective. I loved the way Jennifer showed development of them as well as Tori’s strength as a strong athlete, girlfriend and friend especially towards Bellamy. I love Jennifer’s writing. Definitely want to read her other work!
