The Way You Make Me Feel

by Maurene Goo

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.

At first, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this because Clara, the protagonist, is a class clown and tends to take things too far. However with the wonderful character arc, the food truck competition, and the great writing, The Way You Make Me Feel brought some amazing summer vibes. I loved it!
