Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan
4.0

I loved the idea of a YA romance at a small, regional amusement park. And our intrepid heroine is hoping she gets picked to be the princess this year. But no, she is once again, Hot Dog Girl. Oh, the indignity, but she takes it in stride and vows to be the best dang hot dog at the park (and only one - it's a small operation).

She admires from afar one of the diving pirates. And who wouldn't? Pirates? Who dive? Sign me up.

But, love might be closer than she thought.

It's a great exploration of YA feelings towards attraction and romance and finding out who you are. It's delightful, and unexpectedly deep.
