Well, That Was Unexpected
by Jesse Q. Sutanto
This was a really cute romance with the perfect dose of complicated mother/daughter relationships and pure zaniness.
About to be senior Sharlot is whisked off to Indonesia when her mom finds her in a compromising position with her boyfriend. Sharlot has always had a lot of Qs about Indonesia but her mom has been cagey when it comes to answering them. With her mom’s “help”, Sharlot gets sucked into a fake relationship with George, an Indonesian-Chinese guy her age who is the heir to a massive business and well… that’s the zaniness. Fake relationship for the cameras as George’s family is about to release an app that he is the face of.
George is a hot, kind nerd. And his precocious sister Eleanor is a hoot.
This was very fun. Loved how Sharlot gets to learn more about her heritage, her mom’s past, and how upfront she is as a person. I am currently craving amazing coffee bc that was a huge part of the book.
