For the September Book Club - Set in a high school - I read More Than Just A Happy Face, by Syed M Masood.⁠ ⁠ "Danyal Jilani doesn't lack confidence. He may not be the smartest guy in the room, but he's funny, gorgeous, and going to make a great chef one day. His father doesn't approve of his career choice, but that hardly matters.⁠ ⁠ What does matter is the opinion of Danyal's longtime crush, the perfect-in-all-ways Kaval, and her family, who consider him a less than ideal arranged marriage prospect.⁠ ⁠ When Danyal gets selected for Renaissance Man--a school-wide academic championship--it's the perfect opportunity to show everyone he's smarter than they think. He recruits the brilliant, totally-uninterested-in-him Bisma to help with the competition, but the more time Danyal spends with her...the more he learns from her...the more he cooks for her...the more he realizes that happiness may be staring him right in his pretty face."⁠ ⁠ Have you read this book?

The Hand On The Wall by Maureen Johnson

"It's been a bit of a busy month so unfortunetely I haven't managed to finish my book club pick, but I'm currently about a third of the way through reading The Hand On The Wall and am enjoying it so far." - Erin
