Star Gazing

By: Allen, Shawn P. O.

A Heartwarming Lesbian Romance Set Under Summer StarsPerfect for fans of sapphic romance, LGBTQ+ coming-of-age stories, and slow-burn summer love.

When Leah accepts a summer counselor position at a girls' camp in the Adirondacks, she's running from her complicated feelings for her straight best friend Sarah. Teaching archery and surviving the chaos of energetic campers seems like the perfect distraction. What she doesn't expect is Jessica-a veteran counselor who turns Leah's summer completely upside down.Jess is everything Leah didn't know she needed. A rugby coach with infectious enthusiasm, covered in beautiful tattoos, and possessing an uncanny ability to make everyone around her feel special. When Jess appears on Leah's cabin porch that first night, listening with genuine care as Leah shares her fears about fitting in, something shifts. What begins as a tentative friendship under the stars evolves into something far deeper.

As the summer unfolds, Leah navigates the hilarious challenges of camp life-from demon camper Lilian (who may or may not be plotting world domination), to marathon cheering sessions in the mess hall, to teaching archery in the most beautiful outdoor range she's ever seen. But through it all, Jess is there: catching Leah's eye across crowded tables, sharing knowing smiles, and slowly breaking down every wall Leah has built around her heart.This is a story about finding yourself when you least expect it. About the transformative power of summer love. About choosing to be brave enough to reach for happiness, even when it terrifies you. And about discovering that sometimes the person you're meant to be with has been right there all along-you just had to be ready to see them.
