Why read it?
1 author picked Just Be Cool, Jenna Sakai as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This sweet story brings me back to the rush of heady (albeit sometimes fleeting) infatuations and reminds me that simple friendship rules such as “Don’t let guys come between us” are not always as simple as they seem.
