Description
Summer was the girl who had it all: good grades, a spot on the high school volleyball team, and a best friend since elementary school. Then she was diagnosed with lupus...and her best friend betrayed her. Now she’s cutting ties, because nobody should have to deal with someone as broken as her.
Kane is the guy who never gives up. When he puts his mind to something, he gets it done—no matter how many broken bones it takes. So when a chance encounter at the urgent care throws him in the path of Summer, the girl he’s secretly had a crush on for years, he’s determined to win her heart.
Despite her vow to keep people away, Summer finds herself falling for Kane’s charm. Will the boy who never gives up be able to win—and keep—the heart of the girl who is afraid to let people in?
Advance Praise
Something I'm Good At is an adorable young adult romance. Caroline Andrus has created characters that are almost impossible not to like. Kane is an irresistibly cute puppy who loves food puns and Summer is the sweet, honest girl everyone wants to be friends with. I've never read any of Caroline Andrus's books before now, but after Something I'm Good At, I will definitely be reading more of her work. Kane and Summer's story is a quick, clean romance that is excellent for summers by the pool. If you're a fan of Sarah Dessen, then I think you will love meeting Kane and his friends.

HUGE thanks to you to NetGalley for giving me an Arc for this book.
This book is a perfect YA romance to add some fluff to a summer reading list. It's a short book that's well written, had great characters, and really like one of those classic teen romance movies like the ones Summer loves.
The book is told to dual Point Of View switching between the main character Summer and the love interests Kane. The main fear I have with dual POV is that the plot will repeat its;f but this is never to case with Something I'm Good at and I love it I get to see some teen love story told in different perspectives.
The characters are also great in the book. The friendships that have seemed real and didn't seem forced. Then there was the banter between not just Kane and Summer but Kane and his friends as well. It was fun to read and flowed so well. This book also gives you a look at what it's like for someone diagnosed with Lupus and the series of medications, soreness, and the fear of how a simple fever can be deadly without making their life seem gloomy. I also liked how the book normalizes those from the LGBTQ+ community and didn't treat them any different for any other charter in the book.
I think that the only complaint I had about this book would be that some things felt as though they were left unresolved in this book or just want to be touched on. The plot also seems rushed to in some places.
