"This tween romance proves that some stories stand the test of time." —School Library Journal

★ "Vail captures the anguish and hilarity at the heart of middle school." —The Horn Book, starred review

Thirteen-year-old Gracie has never felt like this before. One day, she suddenly can’t breathe, can’t walk, can’t anything—and the reason is standing right there in front of her, all tall and weirdly good-looking: A.J.

But it turns out A.J. doesn’t like Gracie. He likes Gracie’s beautiful best friend, Sienna. Obviously, Gracie is happy for Sienna. Super happy! She helps Sienna compose the best texts, responding to A.J.’s surprisingly funny and appealing messages just as if she were Sienna. Because Gracie is fine. Always! She’s had lots of practice being the sidekick, the second best.

It’s all good. Well, almost.

Well, That Was Awkward perfectly captures the hardships, drama, and awkwardness of middle school. It’s the perfect read for anyone who needs a reminder that, through all the trials and tribulations, there can be explosions of hope and moments of pure happiness.

Such an important storyline!

Hello!!! I would like to thank Rachel Vail for this super-Awesome-Romantic-Novel! Narrator was a little un-Enthusiastic about the story. Gracie Grant is the main character in this book and also is a giant role-model, Except the self-negative part of her. She has three best friends, Emet, Sienna, And AJ. Gracie has a crush on AJ. But AJ likes Sienna, Flirting involved just a fair warning. Okay spoilers but for real so funny:At the party Gracie told AJ one of those text messages she sent from Sienna’s phone but AJ wasn’t the other one on the other side, Either. Emet and Gracie had been flirting and having romance over Siennas and AJ’s phone 🤣. Sorry, just had to share that it is so funny. Riley is also a really mean girl but has some home issues too. Riley once “pretend barfed” on Dorin. Gracie’s sister also had died of getting hit by a car in case you don’t want your childeren listening to this i will write what happened-Bret was playing and accidentally kicked a ball across the street, And ran over to grab it, A car was coming so quickly they had no time to catch her. Later in the story it said she was a young woman learning how to drive. The car slammed straight into her, Knocking her out and unconscious. Her mom came and took her to the hospital but Bret had died in Gracie’s moms arms.-Such a sad story but now happy highlights! Gracie gets a tortoise! (Sadly that is the only happy highlight I can remember, Mabye check out everyone else’s reviews for more happy highlights)
