The Summer of Jordi Pérez (and the Best Burger in Los Ángeles)

The lively backdrop really brought the characters' adventures to life. I wonder if the author based it on a personal place or just imagined the perfect summer.

Their struggles and triumphs really resonated with me. It made me reflect on my own experiences with identity and confidence.

The mix made the book so engaging without feeling overly sentimental or too comedic. I'm curious about how that tone was crafted.
