About this listen

First-time novelist Jenny Han has penned a realistic story that all middle-graders will surely be able to relate to. Meet 12-year-old Annemarie “Shug” Wilcox. What’s not to like about her? She’s smart, she’s tall, and she has lots of freckles. She lives in a small Georgia town with her popular, gorgeous older sister and intellectual mother. Shug is excited about starting the seventh-grade, but she’s not prepared for all the vicious teasing that comes with the new school year.

What the critics say

A hidden gem

This twelve year old heroine, may be one of the most likeable, loveable, feisty, in a good way, blunt, in a good way, honest and real, I ever encountered, in coming-of-age literature. The narrative is so realistic, so vivid, and so richly detailed, that the story transports you back to your tweens as if they happened just yesterday. The relational mesh (friends, crushes, parents, siblings) is sound, realistic, subtle, and pleasing. Shug will live long in my heart. I loved her so much that I wish this book would have the first in a long series. Elizabeth Norton’s stellar narration elevates this masterpiece further.
