Story
Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her 85-year-old neighbor Joy, that's exactly what she's getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she plans to drive an old RV decked out in Christmas decorations from their Chicago neighborhood to her new retirement digs in Phoenix - in the dead of winter, no less - the much younger Miranda insists that Joy cannot make such a trip by herself. Besides, a crazy trip with Joy would be more interesting than another Christmas home alone.

Tia D'Amico is thrilled to move to San Francisco to help her aunt transform an old luxury yacht into an upscale floating restaurant. What's not to love? Sunset dinner cruises, upscale wedding receptions - the possibilities are endless and far more appetizing than staying in a monotonous job in her Podunk hometown. Besides, some of her best memories are tied to San Francisco - especially the memory of Leo Parker, her crush from a long-ago sailing camp.

Publisher's Summary
Home is the place to heal, right? That's what Dillon Michaels is hoping, at least, as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift - her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store.
But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon's noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses...and a ring.
Full of quirky characters, family drama, and sweet romance, The Happy Camper will have you scouring Craigslist for your own diamond-in-the-rough camper to restore and haunting your local hardware store for a handy guy to help your dreams come true.

Oddly religious
This book is oddly religious and that felt awkward. My biggest problem was the discussion that mental health problems can be fixed by prayer instead of therapy and medication. Dangerous idea.

Shallow
I found this book to be an extremely light read. I so wanted it to be better. It was very juvenile at times. As a reader I was not given much chance to get to know the characters well before drama and conflict ensued. I found the main character to be especially annoying. She was very wishy-washy, and weak minded.

Nice, clean story
Another sweet, clean book by a favorite author. However, after listening for 8 hours of misunderstandings, it is irritating to have only a 2 minute happy ending. Why such abrupt ending? Several questions unanswered. Still a nice story.

Cutesy and Formulaic
I was so hopeful the first half of the book, but the second half was just too cheesy and Jesus-y for my taste.
