This was a really cute, queer retelling of my favorite Shakespeare play: Much Ado About Nothing, this time set at a summer camp in Maine, and with Claudia instead of Claudio. The setting was great- it absolutely felt like a summer camp, complete with lots of summer drama. I liked the increased queer and BIPOC representation. The author tried to flesh out all of the characters with more shades of gray than Shakespeare, but that part felt rushed in terms of the plot. Still, it was an enjoyable, quick read.
