Review of Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan



Hot Dog Girl By Jennifer Dugan

Eloise (Lou) Parker is determined to have her best and absolute epic summer of her life and she only has a few things standing in her way. She has landed a job at the local Magic Castle Playland ...... as a giant dancing hot dog. 

Her biggest crush, the dreamy Diving Castle Nick, who already has a girlfriend .... not good, who is literally the Princess of the Park. However she has never liked anyone, boy or girl, as much as Nick and she wants to have her chance  at her happily ever after before everything changes. She is working along side her best friend Seeley, who operates the carousel, who is her partner in crime however it isn't when it comes to Lou's quest to find her best friend a perfect girl or Lou's quest to net Nick.

Then the owner of the Magic Castle Playland has called a meeting to advise that this will be the last year that the amusement park is open unless she finds a way to keep the park open. 

I love this debut from Jennifer Dugan's and the coming-of-age romance which includes a princess, a pirate, a hot dog and a carousel operator and how they find love and themselves. It is coupled with unexpected people and unforgettable places. I have enjoyed the way we get to know the characters and how they are experiment with life and sexuality. It is a true story of the experience of most young adults which is happening over the world. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child/young adult who is working through who they are.
