Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan

3.0

While this book was a cute and ultimately entertaining read, it was extremely predictable. The premise of saving the carnival that provides their summer jobs from closing has been done before, and I even found the writing to be repetitive, as it used the same phrases and oddly specific word choices over and over again. I did like the friendship between Elouise and Seeley, and even the other platonic relationships with some of the side characters, but I was not really a fan of any of the romantic relationships that happen in this book. I didn't really find the characters and their relationships to be too compelling so I just didn't care too much about who they ended up with, and I felt that many of the relationships were too rushed, especially Elouise's ending relationship. On the plus side, this book is really short and I was able to read it in its entirety in a couple hours.
