The Wiener Across the Way by Amy Award
funny
hopeful
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
3.5
📝 This was a fine book but didn't quite grab me. It also didn't really track that the FMC fell for the MMC the way she did? The plot was interesting and kept me engaged. The FMC was kinda confusing to me because she is so clearly an analog for Taylor Swift, but then they explicitly reference that Taylor Swift ALSO exists in this world???
🌶️ 3/5 The scenes were explicit but there were only a couple of them and they didn't really grab me either.
🏳️🌈✊ Good fat representation and some light activism stuff. Decently feminist. Some minor character diversity.
🎧 Great performances from both narrators!
