The Rainbow Race

Needless to say it is summer camp and where you get a bunch of people together you are bound to have drama. Summers has a captive audience when Yvette Fleur gets on the scene - not just in us but in Eleanor. This is a familiar trope for young adult fans as Yvette is the “rich outcast” and Eleanor is the quiet poor geek. Familiar or not, it works in The Rainbow Race.

Summers has a full cast of characters who are trying to fit in or just get along. Eleanor is the peacekeeper and it is kind of funny at times the antics these ladies get into. I have to admit though that Yvette is my fave. She is snarky and attempts to be deep and dark. Huge soft spot.

The Rainbow Race is just the first book in the “Camp Sunshine” series. I was not expecting such a mature story based on the cover of the book. Summers deals with abandonment, poverty, homophobia, and more in Race.

Summer camp just got a little bit more interesting with this fun LGBTQ+ addition.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily
