The way you make me feel
(Book)

A Junior Library Guild selection.

Sixteen year old Clara Shin doesn't take life too seriously, but when she pushes one joke too far, her dad sentences her to a summer working on his food truck, the KoBra. Clara was supposed to go on vacation to Tulum to visit her social media-influence mom; she was supposed to spend lazy days at the pool with her buddies. Being stuck in a sweaty Korean-Brazilian food truck all day, every day? Worse still, working alongside her nemesis, Rose Carver? Not the carefree summer Clara had imagined. But as time goes on, it turns out that maybe Rose isn't so bad. Maybe the boy named Hamlet (yes, Hamlet) who's crushing on Clara is pretty cute. Maybe Clara actually feels invested in her dad's business. What if taking this summer seriously means that Clara has to leave her old self behind? With her signature warmth and humor, Maurene Goo delivers a relatable story of falling in love and finding yourself in the places you'd never thought to look.
