Sharlot and George are adorably awkward together, but their humorous moments are nearly upstaged by their family members. Though the situations these characters get themselves into are funny on their own, these particular characters and their reactions are what truly make this book so special. This laugh out loud funny book will have you cringing from secondhand embarrassment one moment and crying laughing at the witty banter the next.

What happens when two well-meaning but misguided parents catfish romantic interests for their teenaged children? Absolute hilarious highjinks, of course. Meanwhile, George Clooney Tanuwijaya is caught in his own compromising situation by his dad and sister, who then go online to find him a girlfriend to fix his loser status. Sharlot thinks this is the worst punishment ever… until she discovers her mom set up a social media profile for her and has made a date with a random guy that her mother approves of. Sharlot’s life is turned upside down when her mother finds her in a compromising situation, and subsequently takes her to her mother’s birthplace of Indonesia for the summer. Sutanto’s Well, That Was Unexpected is a YA rom-com that hits the mark perfectly.
