πRecommend for Grades 9 and upπ
by Kelsey Rodkey
Books & Moore has been in Madeline Moore’s family for generations, and she has dreams of taking it over from her aunt. When Prologue, a chain bookstore, opens up across the street, the fate of Books & Moore is put in jeopardy. It also doesn’t help that Madeline is also dealing with family drama. Then there’s Jasper Hamada, the cute customer who turns out to be the son of the family who owns Prologue. The two find themselves in a prank war that turns out to be less harmless than they thought.
Told entirely from Madeline’s point of view, this is a fun story with lots of drama. Madeline herself can be a tad annoying at times, but she often comes from a good place. While it takes place in the summer after Madeline’s senior year of high school, it doesn’t feel like a typical summer story. The dynamic between Madeline and Jasper is excellent, and readers will enjoy following them throughout the book.
