The Summer of Jordi Perez with Amy Spalding

Amy Spalding’s fifth YA novel, The Summer Jordi Perez (and the
Best Burger in Los Angeles), is an absolute treat! It’s funny,
charming, emotional, and has all of the thrilling make-out
sessions you’d want from a YA book… and the kicker? The hero is a
young queer woman. Amy Spalding delights us as we talk about the
genesis of the book, growing up queer, and the complexities of
writing Women of Size. Don’t miss this hour… and get yourself a
copy of this charming, insightful, and culturally important read
ASAP!
