I swear Connor looks over at me. My heart skips a beat again. I’m not quirky like Ruby or confident like Cher—why would Connor like me anyways?

Emma Bishop is your typical 14-year-old girl. She’s got besties, a major crush, zits (don’t use the P-word), an annoying younger sister, an embarrassing mom, and no boobs. Luckily, her best friends Ruby and Cher are there to pull off fun sleepovers, try new makeup trends, deal with bullies, and survive embarrassing interactions with cute boys.

Things change for Emma when Connor finally notices her and wants to be her partner for a science project. As things get serious between Emma and Connor, Cher and Ruby don’t react in the way Emma expected or hoped. She never thought she would have to choose between her crush and her friends—all before puberty!

Why Won’t My Boobs Grow...and Other Annoyances is a contemporary young-adult novel by Rebecca Garner that explores friendship, first love, and self-confidence. This book is a must-listen if you are wondering who you are (even before your boobs arrive) or if you’re a grown-up who loves the nostalgia of a coming-of-age story.

Funny and relatable - you’ll fall in love with Emma

Truly enjoyable story of young teenage life. Emma is a ball of contradiction and love. She’s fun to spend time with as she bounces from love to school to home. Her friend group and her family give her a supportive springboard for her hopes and dreams. The author read on this is top notch and really keeps the story moving. As the story ended, I was already wondering what will Emma do next? Enjoy your time with Emma and her crew!

Took me back!

I love this story. It’s so relatable, even as a woman in her mid-30s. We have all at one time been Emma - awkward, trying to figure out our own personalities while maintaining friendships and crushes, self-conscious, etc. I also really love when authors tell their stories themselves. I can’t wait to read more from Rebecca!

Friendships and first love

I adored this audiobook! Garner did a great job and brought so much life to Emma by narrating it herself. The journey was so realistic and often felt like she was in my head when I was Emma’s age. Very well done!!
