Remember to Check Your Ears for Guacamole — Emily Moore

Natalie has never quite fit. And it isn't because she's tall. Making friends when you're the weird, nerdy girl is tough. Dating? Forget it. Add in an impulsive cross-country move, a family tragedy and a complicated love triangle, and you have absolute chaos. Luckily, for Natalie, her new friends at the restaurant where she works in Philadelphia are nothing like the people she grew up with in Phoenix. Set in 2003, Remember to Check Your Ears For Guacamole is a story about finding yourself in the most unlikely places. Full of Gen-X nostalgia, relatable characters, sarcasm and humor, this book is a unique blend of modern fiction, prose poetry and childhood memoir.
