Jesse Q Sutanto has become one of my favorite authors. When I realized that she had a YA book, I got real excited. What a fun read at the end of a tough month. I think this one would be an adorable Netflix movie. Lighthearted fun!

This was an enjoyable YA romance that I absolutely flew through. I wanted something lighthearted and fun to read and this absolutely hit the spot! It’s absolutely unrealistic but fun nonetheless

This was so cute. I loved the parents and how they tried to imitate their children via text/email. I am always amazed how this author can write exceptional books across multiple genres and age groups.
Thank you for the advance copy.

A fun and lively rom com full of hijinks and humanity. Sharlot is whisked from LA to her mother’s homeland, Indonesia, after being caught in a precarious situation by her mum. There, she is forced to confront interpersonal expectation and misconceptions. She is set up through an app with another teen, George Clooney Tanuwijaya. Most of the characters are Chinese Indonesian; biracial Sharlot is White and Chinese Indonesian.
I listened via Libby (Boroondara), as each chapter was from the perspective of either Sharlot or George they were narrated by different people which added to the story.

Interesting book! Not sure how to feel. I enjoyed it for the most part. Very diverse!! Lots of cultural terms and food names that are confusing! LGBTQ+ is a large part of the book, her mom and 8th aunt and her boyfriend from LA are both
