The idea of Nick only being into her because of seeing her with another girl is shot down pretty quickly. This does include f/f fake dating to catch the interest of a straight guy, but I really liked that it's addressed as soon as it's brought up. The friendship, fake dating, moral struggles, and amusement park setting were all things I really loved. I was a little irritated with Eloise constantly drooling over a guy who already had a girlfriend, but that was really just the catalyst for the main events in this book. 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. * 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. * Her best friend, Seeley, the carousel operator, who's always been up for anything, suddenly isn't when it comes to Lou's quest to set her up with the perfect girl or Lou's scheme to get close to Nick. 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 crush, the dreamy Diving Pirate Nick, already has a girlfriend, who is literally the Princess of the park. * She's landed a job at Magic Castle Playland. There are just a few things standing in her way: Elouise (Lou) Parker is determined to have the absolute best, most impossibly epic summer of her life.
