\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

School success is everything – or it’s not.
Being a laid-back parent<\/a> is great for your kid – or it isn’t.
Friendship is worth working for – yes, yes it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Carrie<\/a><\/em>-style stunt at prom lands boundary-pushing Clara and goody-goody Rose together in the same summer job to pay back the school – no spa life in Tulum with Clara’s jetsetting influencer mom, no prestigious internship for Rose’s college applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep, two not-friends working in a food truck for the entire sweltering LA summer, cooking the Korean-Brazilian fusion food<\/a> that’s made Clara’s dad legendary – no time for screw-ups or bickering when the lunch rush is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can jokester Clara please her Korean cool-dad enough to get time off and visit her Brazilian influencer mom in paradise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can by-the-rules Rose squeeze in dance practices around the full KoBra truck schedule and meet the very high expectations of her African American parents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Hamlet’s homesickness for Beijing and love for California stop tugging at him long enough for him to get Clara to go out with him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer before their senior year will be anything but boring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out next week in paperback! From the author of I Believe In a Thing Called Love<\/em> (which I loved & recommended here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best-planned prank that you never pulled?
