Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs
4.0
Ack, my time with Gloria and her Geek Camp friends passed way too quickly! I got to the last page and kept swiping my tablet in disbelief, hoping for another chapter or two.
Sarah Combs' tale of a high school girl who spends 4 weeks at Kentucky University as part of a summer camp for gifted teens felt exactly how being a teenager on the verge of "real life" should be. The writing and characters felt authentic without being cliche, and, as mind blowing as it is to admit, I desperately wished I was my awkward teenage self again, smack dab in the middle of it all. The ending was satisfying, although it came too quickly for my taste, and Ms. Combs did a superb job of balancing the serious moments with the humorous ones, the heartbreak with the joy. A lovely book for late middle and high school girls who enjoy realistic fiction and well-rounded, believable characters.
