Book details
Julie Fison - Author
This looks like a choice-driven story about balancing a crush with loyalty to friends. Its interest lies less in simply meeting Rio than in Kitty weighing promises, popularity and the hope of being liked.
"For months Kitty MacLean has been crushing on Rio Sanchez, who is probably the cutest boy in the world. But it looks like she might never get a chance to hang out with him until ... 1. Kitty goes camping with her best friends like she promised them, and finds out Rio just happens to be staying not too far away. But should she meet up with him? Or is a grubby camping holiday not the best time to meet up with your mega crush? 2. Kitty breaks her promise to go camping with her besties and goes to Paradise Point with popular-girl Persephone instead. The offer is sweetened with a promise they'll definitely get to hang out with Rio. But would Kitty really ditch her friends to hang out with a cool girl? And will Rio even like Kitty?"--Page 4 of cover.

Kitty has promised to go camping with her best friends but may instead visit Paradise Point with Persephone.
Kitty wants to spend time with Rio, while Persephone's offer is linked to access to him and social status.
The central tension appears to involve wanting romantic attention while deciding how to treat existing friendships. It may be worth noticing whether Kitty's choices are presented as thoughtful, pressured, regretted or rewarding.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
