Great for teens who like lighthearted realistic fiction. Sutanto I'm Not Done with You Yet Jesse Q.
She aspires to one day find one (1) hobby. She used to game but with two little ones and a husband, she no longer has time for hobbies. The book is set in Indonesia, so there is also plenty of scenery, food, and culture to soak up – I felt a little like I was on a mini-vacation while reading it. Jesse has forty-two first cousins and thirty aunties and uncles, many of whom live just down the road. The novel, told in alternating POV from both Sharlot and George, has laugh-out-loud moments, and also tackles some high interest topics that teens all over the world deal with: social media double standards for boys and girls (even in the same situation) insecurities family dynamics in a media-obsessed (and accessible) age.
Ultimately, an ambitious reporter exposes all in a cringe-worthy reveal that finally brings the only dragging plot point (constant looping thoughts from both characters about what would happen if they were honest) to a close. Neither is honest with the other, fearing rejection. When they do meet, however, they are attracted to each other – though that attraction is complicated by them each believing the other to be also different (and less likeable) due to their (parent created) online persona.
Their efforts to impress each other by boasting of exaggerated traditional virtues do not represent either teen, so neither looks forward to meeting the other. Sharlot and George are two teens in Jakarta, Indonesia (she’s an Indo-American visiting family for the summer, he’s from a super-wealthy Indo family) whose parents – his dad, her mom – unknowingly catfish each other on a dating app on behalf of their respective teen.
