Set over the course of one day, this smart and voice-driven YA novel follows three young women determined to save their indie bookstore.

Rinn Olivera is finally going to tell her longtime crush AJ that she’s in love with him.

Daniella Korres writes poetry for her own account, but nobody knows it’s her.

Imogen Azar is just trying to make it through the day.

When Rinn, Daniella, and Imogen clock into work at Wild Nights Bookstore on the first day of summer, they’re expecting the hours to drift by the way they always do. Instead, they have to deal with the news that the bookstore is closing. Before the day is out, there’ll be shaved heads, a diva author, and a very large shipment of Air Jordans to contend with.

And it will take all three of them working together if they have any chance to save Wild Nights Bookstore.

School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up-A group of misfits must save the one place they all feel a special connection to, the Wild Nights Bookstore and Emporium. In essence, Safi's book is a retelling of the movie Empire Records: Eli steals petty cash in order to make more money to help the store, Imogen goes into work and shaves her head in the bathroom, a famous author comes on to a teenager and their partner quits because if it, and a fundraiser and rooftop party aim to save the struggling store. Safi sets her novel in a bookshop instead of a music store and brings the story into the 21st century as the store's employees are able to reach thousands of people in an instant with videos posted to social media. The main characters are from a range of backgrounds including Korean, Mexican American, and Lebanese, and all have some kind of defining trait that stands out: the artist, the bubbly social media influencer, the struggling manager, the math nerd, the screw-up, etc. Safi's writing style draws readers into the story and makes them feel as if they truly know the characters. VERDICT This book is a love letter to one of the most popular movies of the '90s and will be enjoyed by everyone who wants to fit in and fight for what they believe.-Lenore Catalano, Hammarskjold M.S., East Brunswick, NJ
