Clara Shin lives for pranks and disruption. When she takes one joke too far, her dad sentences her to a summer working on his food truck, the Honeycut, alongside her uptight classmate Rose Carver. Not the carefree summer Clara imagined. But maybe Rose isn't so bad. Maybe the boy named Hamlet (yes, Hamlet) on the truck next door is pretty cute. Maybe Clara's estranged mum deserves a second chance. What if taking these relationships seriously means leaving her old self behind? From the author of I Believe in a Thing Called Love comes another funny story of friendship, romance, and discovering that even when life gets serious, it can still be seriously fun.
What a cute book this turned out to be. I like Goo's writing style and both her protagonist and the love interest were fantastic. She also did such a great job of making Los Angeles come alive. The Los Angeles that she wrote is real and I just connected with all of that. There were some things that made me roll my eyes but I really liked the parenting in this one. Not all parents are neglectful assholes. Yay! Full review to come.
