Why read it?

1 author picked Well, That Was Unexpected as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Speaking of meddlesome families, this book has another set-up.

This time we have Sharlot and George Clooney (no, not that George Clooney) whose parents decide to trick them into dating. There’s a little bit of catfishing, a few misunderstandings, and fake dating in Indonesia.

It’s a side-splitting rom-com told through Jesse Q. Sutanto’s signature brand of outlandish humor.

From Sarah's list on YA rom-com to make you laugh.
