Wish You Weren’t Here by Erin Baldwin is the sapphic romance book I wish I’d had when I was in high school! This book is wholesome, funny, adorable, and the perfect love story for young adults looking to get into romance! 

 

I loved everything about this book! In the story, you are reading from Juliette Barrera-Wright’s point of view as she navigates her Senior Year of high school. She often feels invisible in every aspect of her life, until she’s at her one happy place, Fogridge Summer Camp. Her Senior Summer at Fogridge is going to be the best yet! Until she realizes there her number one least favorite person, Priya Pendley is not only at camp for the summer too, but is her roommate! 

 

What follows is a story of finding yourself, and learning that your perception of someone, or their situation, is often not what you initially believe it to be. And if you can learn to accept that and shift your understanding, wonderful things can bloom.
