Having read this I can say It's not very good. The writing is like tepid water and just doesn't have any pop or style to it, if you get what I mean. What really condemns it though is how strangely afraid of its own premise it seems to be. The plot is ostensibly a group of kids get sent to a fat camp run by vampires. Fun idea, except it's 99% just the vampires and the fact the characters are fat and are at fat camp is irrelevant. It has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. There's maybe one page where their body insecurity is touched on, but other than that it never comes up. They're never even described in any detail beyond just "they're fat". There's no "we're too out of shape to run away from the vampires" or "this uniform doesn't fit" or "we can't haul ourselves out of danger" Even the central theme it's advertised with about body acceptance and loving yourself is barely touched on. So even as some sort of woke message it falls flat. I've read several other books in the genre of teen/tween weight loss, The Melting of Maggie Bean by Tricia Rayburn, Huge by Sasha Payley, and they have no problem describing their characters in embarrassing detail. I suspect because those women were thin writing fat characters, and didn't have that insecurity. Whereas the author of Camp Sylvania looks like Weird Al in his fat suit.

The foid that wrote this has more balls than you for putting her work out there, shipping it and making money. I wish I could get me such a high-agency gal.
