Rezensionen

"A sarcastic 15-year-old records angst-about her parents, first love and loss, and failure-in six months of achingly universal journal entries. Via journal entries told in Phoebe's no-nonsense tone, debut author Brueggemann details the snarky, socially awkward protagonist's growth as she experiences the messiness of attraction and love, and comes to appreciate the joy and pain of connection. Phoebe's frequent internet searches and frank narration style manage to both entertain and inform on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sexuality and identity." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This is ultimately a thoughtful, funny, deeply emotional coming of age story, perfect for readers looking to commiserate with someone puzzling their way through life and love." -Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

"The novel is told indaily diary entries, from New Year's Day to Phoebe's birthday in July; the entries reveal an endearing vulnerability under a (very funny) layer of snark." -Horn Book
