Somewhere Only We Know by Maurene Goo

3.0

*ARC provided by Farrar Straus Giroux via Baker & Taylor ARC program* I enjoyed it, but it just felt flat compared to Goo's previous 2 books. In both I Believe in a Thing Called Love & The Way You Make Me Feel, her characters really came to life in a way I didn't feel here. And this one did not have the same silly humor I really enjoyed in the others. It is a fun story, and I love that I can easily give this romance to middle school readers since it goes no further than kissing. I'm ok with giving it to 6th graders also, though there are scenes with the main characters in clubs and bars (though neither of them drinks).
