"The town of Southborough used to be a major tourism destination, drawing folks from all over in the hopes they'd spot the famous Sasquatch, reportedly seen in the town many times over the years. But it's been ages since anyone's spotted the 'squatch, and tourism is starting to dry up. A tech company called Start-up.com (a start-up that helps people start their own start-ups) decides to begin buying up places all over town in order to build their techie headquarters, driving out all the local townspeople. Luckily, Southborough is also home to Louie O'Connor, firm believer in the Sasquatch's existence and all-around, mega 'squatch fan. When Louie's dads' restaurant, Squatch Burger, starts to go under and fall prey to the techie start-up, Louie and her best friend Felix decide they'll do whatever it takes to save the town from losing all the people and places that make it special. In hopes that convincing people the Sasquatch is real and to drive back tourism, Louie and Felix plan an elaborate hoax in hopes of saving the town from the dot-com takeover. But when Felix starts talking about leaving their hometown for college in LA, Louie will have to face some tough questions about herself, her future career, and her place in her beloved hometown."--Provided by publisher… (plus d'informations)

Things I liked:
great art
great message about not letting work define you
2 (very supportive) dads
love for community
silly shenanigans with a lot of heart

Things I wasn't totally sure about:
Louie is kind of obnoxious, and a jerk to her best friend/family/new boss
very anti tech -- tech-bros can be obnoxious, but this is also a tourist town that relies on tourist dollars, so... tech bros are ok as visitors, but not as neighbors? Isn't that judging them based on their jobs? Isn't that reducing them to only acceptable if they bring money with them? It muddies the message.

Anyway, it's a fun romp of a story, and I probably shouldn't take it so seriously.

Dumb and ridiculous but cute. Louie’s really immature, but I didn’t hate her. The sasquatch business concludes very early on, so the rest of the story follows Louie’s growing pains and contemplation of life after high school. College or taking over the family business? Working for money or for passion? Overall, a light-hearted, quirky read.

Fun, fresh, and adorable.
Colourful, friendly art. Diverse characters. LGBTQ rep (Louie has two Dads and they are too cute, even when they're sad. And they adore her.)
A tale of family, friendships, and community, and how these things endure even when a fundamental part of your life turns out to be a lie. All wrapped up in the drama of being a teen. And a sneaky one at that (the Airbnb, hysterical). ( )
