The summer of Jordi Perez

(Disclosure: the author is a friend.) I feel like I overuse the word “delightful” in my reviews, but this book is just plain delightful - bright and summery and a joy to read. The conflicts were realistic and it was refreshing to see them handled in a mature way (I don't quite know what I'm trying to say here, but I get frustrated with plots where the whole thing could be resolved if people just talked to each other - none of that frustration here). I even liked lax-bro Jax and his goofy friendship with Abby. Don't read this if you're hungry, because I've been craving a good burger ever since I finished it, but if you like fun YA romance with a side of fries, this is the book for you!
