Camp Boyfriend

They said it couldn’t be done, but geeky sophomore Lauren Carlson transformed herself into a popular girl after moving to a new school. Only trouble is, the popular crowd is wearing on Lauren’s nerves and she can’t wait to return to summer camp where she’s valued for her brain instead of her handsprings. She misses her old friends and most of all, her long time camp-only boyfriend, Seth. This year she intends to upgrade their relationship to year-round status once she’s broken up with her new, jock boyfriend, Matt. He doesn’t begin to know the real her, a girl fascinated by the night sky who dreams of discovering new galaxies. But Matt isn’t giving her up without a fight, and Lauren begins to realize his feelings run deeper than she ever would've guessed. What if the guy she thought she was meant to be with forever isn’t really The One? As tensions escalate, Lauren wonders if she’s changed more than she thought. Will her first big discovery be herself?
