Winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature * 2018 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults * 2018 Rainbow Book List * A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2017 "Well-paced, brimming with drama, and utterly vital."--Kirkus (starred review) This charming and bittersweet coming-of-age story featuring two girls of color falling in love is part To All the Boys I've Loved Before and part Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. Sixteen-year-old Sana Kiyohara has too many secrets. Some are small, like how it bothers her when her friends don't invite her to parties. Some are big, like the fact that her father may be having an affair. And then there's the one that she can barely even admit to herself--the one about how she might have a crush on her best friend. When Sana and her family move to California, she begins to wonder if it's finally time for some honesty, especially after she meets Jamie Ramirez. Jamie is beautiful and smart and unlike anyone Sana's ever known. There are just a few problems: Sana's new friends don't trust Jamie's crowd; Jamie's friends clearly don't want her around anyway; and a sweet guy named Caleb seems to have more-than-friendly feelings for her. Meanwhile, her dad's affair is becoming too obvious to ignore. Sana always figured that the hardest thing would be to tell people that she wants to date a girl, but as she quickly learns, telling the truth is easy...what comes after it, though, is a whole lot more complicated.… (mehr)

First half was really cute, insta-crush, but hey, it was followed by a build up and the poetry exchange was super cute. Also the racism topic was very well done and diverse queer characters, I mean, please. But as I said: For the first half.
In the second half everything goes to be a disaster. Not addressed, casual racism, miscommunication and cheating... ( )

3.5 Stars

CW: Racism and stereotyping, cheating, extramarital affair, issue of lesbian girl dating a boy just to be sure she isn’t straight.

The wonderful thing about being part of the Goodreads community is reading reviews from people whose world views, life experiences and personal truths are different from my own. Through my lense and with my YA librarian glasses on this book is a cutely awkward high school love story. I enjoyed the dynamics between some of the characters and thought the romance, whilst a bit instalovey and shallow, was still sweet. Readers be warned though, there are some hugely racist comments and attitudes throughout the novel between different POC. It is an important issue to tackle but it just seemed to be casually treated as ‘the way things are’. In my opinion there were little to no attempts to deal with this inappropriate behaviour in the novel so that was disappointing. I am also not sure if this was an authentic or healthy coming out journey so I recommend reading some own voice reviews as well.

Overall though this was an enjoyable read. ( )

I really liked this book! It was very well-written, with a clear character arc. I liked that Sana had a strong, core group of friends. Not everyone has that so easily when they move to another state. The plot was predictable, which was kind of annoying at times. The subplots, however, wow. I really wanted to know what was going on with her dad! Her emotions around it, and worries, were so well-written and believable. I liked how her mom was at the end. That was such intriguing characterization. I'm not sure how I felt about their New Years though. I'm still mulling over it. ( )

It's Not Like It's a Secret is a thoroughly enjoyable teen romance. Sixteen year old Sana and her family move from Wisconsin, where she was one of a handful of Asian students at school, to California where she is one of many. In Wisconsin she had a crush on her best friend, Trisha, who is totally straight and her crush is hopeless.

In California she meets Jamie who is a clerk in a store and it's crush at first sight. Jamie is Latino.

Author Misa Sugiura explores the difference in cultures and stereotypical perceptions such as Latinos are lazy and Asians are smart and hardworking. Sana's mother, a Japanese born American, also shares these opinions of Latinos, thus making it hard for Sana and Jamie to become friends, let alone girlfriends.

Sana's mother is stoic, showing gamen (enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity) and there are things in her life that require such strength.

Of course, like any other romance, there is girl gets girl, girl loses girl and girl gets girl back again. However this version was a joy to read. I highly recommend it. ( )
