Hot Dog Girl
ByPublisher Description
A fresh and funny contemporary YA rom-com about teens working as costumed characters in a local amusement park.
Elouise (Lou) Parker is determined to have the absolute best, most impossibly epic summer of her life. There are just a few things standing in her way:
She's landed a job at Magic Castle Playland . . . as a giant dancing hot dog. Her crush, the dreamy diving pirate Nick, already has a girlfriend, who is literally the princess of the park. But Lou's never liked anyone, guy or otherwise, this much before, and now she wants a chance at her own happily ever after. Her best friend, Seeley, the carousel operator, has always been up for anything, but she's decidedly not on board when it comes to Lou's quest to set her up with the perfect girl or Lou's scheme to get close to Nick. And it turns out that this will be their last summer at Magic Castle Playland—ever—unless she can find a way to stop it from closing.
Jennifer Dugan's sparkling debut coming-of-age queer romance stars a princess, a pirate, a hot dog, and a carousel operator who find love—and themselves—in unexpected people and unforgettable places.

“Very YA but honestly it was fun. Like watching one of those cheesy romcom movies for the sake of watching something easily digestible, and that you know will probably have a happy ending. The main character was soooooo bratty and frustrated sometimes. But it was filled with teen angst and that vibe brought me wayyyy back. Fun silly read overall”

“Nothing bad about this book. It was a very quick read and easy to get through. I did find it charming and light hearted. That being said, I didn’t find myself wanting to tell everyone about it so it’s a solid eh book in my experience. It was enjoyable but not my fav.”
