The plot in itself didn't grab me and I don't think I would get any of the summer camp references or the attachment to the camp. I think I'll pass but great review!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-58018067071511867252015-12-14T13:11:24.839-05:002015-12-14T13:11:24.839-05:00I'm glad you're mixing up your holiday boo...I'm glad you're mixing up your holiday books, but truthfully this doesn't appeal to me much based only on the actual plot, not the "religious" theme.

I just once read a book that was mostly about birds, the romance was secondary and there were bird<br />Trivia everywhere, bird mating habits for metaphors, etc. I failed to connect because the info dump thickened the book for me.
