The Girl Least Likely

To All the Boys meets The
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (with a dash of Dumplin’) in this
funny, romantic, and heartfelt coming of age story about a teen stand-up comic
learning how to be her truest self, from the author of If You’re Out
There.

Gretchen has always
been more of a “least likely” than a “most likely” kind of girl. So how does
she somehow find herself living out every trope from her favorite rom-coms . .

The Perfect Cover: A way for Gretchen to escape into her new funny-girl alter ego and figure out who she really is—and

only last so long. . . .

"A rom-com
with six extra helpings of riotous comedy, The Girl Least Likely has so
many laughs your actual day will be brighter for reading it.” —E. Lockhart,
author of We Were Liars

Fun, funny, smart coming of age

I loved how age-appropriate this was for my teen daughter. While having a fun and entertaining story, the book addresses some life challenges and life lessons that I wish someone would’ve discussed with me as a young teenager and a mid teen. In a subtle way, It really forces the reader to examine their own life and choices in how they interact with their peers, while being hilarious, fun and realistic to kids in terms of the relationships, language and dialogue. I absolutely loved the comedy throughout and the fact that there were several characters that are great role models for various personality types. Highly recommend!
