Chelsea
has spent every summer of her childhood working alongside her parents at a
historical colonial reenactment village.
She wanted this summer to be different, but her best friend convinces
her to return to the village to work.
Chelsea is surprised to find her ex-boyfriend, Ezra, also working at the
village and she still hasn’t gotten over her heartache, but Ezra seems to be
moving on just fine. The colonial
village has competition across the street with a Civil War reenactment camp and
the teenagers working both villages have a friendly war going on between
them. This book is about what
happens when Chelsea falls for a guy from the wrong side of the war and how
that changes her perceptions of life.
I enjoyed this book. There
were laugh out loud moments and the main character was fun to cheer for. It is a sweet romantic comedy with a
coming of age theme. There is also
great commentary on history and how it is perceived and changed over time.
HS - OPTIONAL.
