These titles offer a perfect opportunity for middle grade readers who want an innocent exploration of romance and crushes. – School Library Journal

Easy-to-digest chapters and a manageable length make this book a great fit for middle grade readers who want a light, entertaining, yet highly engaging read. . .

Now, Julie has no idea how this summer is going to go—especially since she’s unexpectedly feeling flutters around a new friend, Liam…and she thinks he might like her, too.

Can Julie figure out how she feels about James and Liam? Or will having Sophia around ruin everything?

Honestly, Julie’s not even sure she would call Sophia a friend, but one thing is for sure: having to play nice with Sophia who is always hanging around was not on the agenda.

At least that was the plan until Julie’s parents decided to surprise her by inviting a friend to their beach house for the next three weeks.

This is going to be the summer Julie finally catches the attention of her crush, James! She has the perfect outfits, ice-breaking jokes, and a list of places she can oh-so-casually run into him.

A girl’s summer plans to get her crush to notice her are upended by a surprise guest in this entry in the new tween middle grade rom-com Spotlight Sprinkles series!

Hand this book to a reader who might be a little too focused on their budding love life or who might need a little persuasion toward being themself instead of following the crowd. – The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

As she (Julie) learns how to be a good friend, she also learns how to be her genuine self and accepts that fulfilling relationships come in all forms, romantic, familial, and platonic. ...

An easy read for early middle-schoolers with plenty of appeal for reluctant readers, this can be handed
with confidence to fans of Shug (2006), by Jenny Han, and Sleepaway Girls (2009), by Jen Calonita. – Booklist
