Great teen view of intimate relationships and self talk.

I think this is a great read for all teens. Normative view of self talk, trust, relationship with family, friends and significant others.
Interesting how the author also interwove the stories of the characters.

this was an amazing story line I'm so excited to get to White Out

Beautifully done

Beautiful stories! I should have paid attention more, since I forgot who was who by the end when Grace was noticing all the couples at the party. Didn’t dislike anything. Some of the stories dragged more than others but it wasn’t because of the performances.

Pleasantly Surprised

Full transparency, I am well beyond my teen years, but I was looking for something light to listen to and this book was comprised of multiple stories told by several narrators, including a couple of my favorite narrators - so it intrigued me wven further. This was surprisingly an enjoyable listen! I really liked how every story was a puzzle piece that connected to another story in some way. It made me smile multiple times.

Loved It!

I enjoyed the book very much. I loved each story and how much variety there was. Definitely in my top 10!
