I loved everything about this book! At first when I began reading, I didn’t realize that it takes place in the same world as Icebreaker, and was pleasantly surprised when I began reading familiar names and scenes full of the characters I had already come to love from reading that story. Differently from Icebreaker, Wildfire’s summer camp plot left me yearning for the days of summer, swimming, bonfires, and a love story like Aurora and Russ. While I enjoyed Anastasia and Nate’s story from Icebreaker, something about this book left me feeling differently. There wasn’t a time when I felt like the spice and physical connection between the main characters was overshadowing their actual romance. The balance between the small and subtle contributions to their falling in love and their physical connection to once another was balanced beautifully. I would have given 5 stars - but I had to take off something for the cringeworthy term of endearment “sweetheart.” I don’t know what it was, but each time I read that I had to cringe - I just felt like using that term didn’t fit the characters well. Other than that, perfect story, writing, characters, and book overall!
