 Ambitious high school student Gigi Wong has created the perfect matchmaking app, inspired by the traditional match making skills taught by her Great Aunt. As she enters the app in a school contest, her life turns upside down. She has always been the perfect student, daughter and classmate, but when it comes to love and life she has a few lessons to learn especially when it comes to her new friend and transfer student Etta.

Teens will love Jennifer Yen's simple writing style. Her book "A Taste for Love," is a gem as well! These smart, kind, and beautiful characters host light fun-hearted reads perfect for the summer. I also love when Asian characters are depicted on the covers as this needs to be done more often. 

Summer 2023

 Wow! It has been over five months without posts. Never fear though, the Wacky Librarian is back with fun summer reads and recommended titles.

I just finished this historical fiction gem this month taking you back to Martha's Vineyard in the late 60s. It is full of social class clashes, drama and romance. 

Foster is a talented writer as she introduces us to a young nanny trying to fit into this elite world and get through the summer. Her ultimate goal? Find a husband a keep her college secret safe. Readers will love the style and flow of this perfect "escape" read as we are whisked into the world of catty housewives and overworked nannies seeking romance. This title was giving me all the MadMen vibes.
