Summer Husband

Is 39 too old to get your first sleepaway camp kiss?


Lori Kramer, a stay-at-home mom, would go to any length to give her two daughters the summer experience of their lives – even getting a job at their camp and tagging along with them.


Aside from overseeing the chaos of four bunks filled with rambunctious kids and their counselors, Lori also manages to outwit her boss and out run a bear – and that's just during the first half of the summer!


But those escapades are child's play compared to her growing friendship and attraction to Teddy, the British soccer coach. Their clandestine meetings late at night behind the laundry shack, breaking the no-smoking rule, turn hot and steamy like a lazy August afternoon.  


Camp may be for kids, but Lori's the one having the most fun. She never imagined that stepping outside of her conventional, underappreciated, New York City existence would turn her world upside down and change her life forever.

"Like protagonist Lori Kramer, I never made it to summer camp as a child so I was swept away with Amy Lorowitz's fun, nostalgic and romantic debut novel.
