MAN CAMP
Adrienne Brodeur
Ballantine Books
June 2006
0-8129-7190-6
Paperback
Chick Lit

 

Lucy Stone and her best friend Martha McKenna are fed up with the men in New York City. They may be secure in their feminine side, have good looks and money, but they don’t know how to treat a woman. Lucy may love her boyfriend, but what she really wants is a man who can stand up to her, without hurting her.

She wants a real man’s man, who can change a tire, build a fire and most of all who is not afraid of hard work. 

When Martha dreams up the idea of sending men to camp to learn to be real men, the idea seems far-fetched. Lucy’s best friend from college, Cooper comes to town, and Martha wins him over with her idea and they decide the first session of MAN CAMP is to be held on Cooper’s dairy farm, in West Virginia. 

MAN CAMP is a hilariously funny novel filled with humor and romance.  It contains all of the elements a reader needs to fall in love with the characters and even more so, the feelings behind the camp. Lucy and Martha are really both loveable characters, even when their heads are in the clouds. They know what they want; they just need a shove to help them find it.  

Adrienne Brodeur has a masterful skill using the English language. She has created a dramatically humorous tale that will keep readers turning the pages just waiting to find out what Cooper has in store for his campers. Martha’s brother turns from the geeky guy you wonder if there is help for, into a cute guy just waiting on the right woman. Martha falls in love, and the surprises left in this novel make it well worth the purchase price!
