Description
In this witty, heartfelt novel, a teen narrator navigates the messy realities of growing up—friendships that shift, expectations that press in, and the constant pressure to “be someone” even when you’re not sure who that is. As he tries to find his footing, he learns that confidence can be both a performance and a practice, and that the line between pretending and discovering yourself is thinner than it seems. Blending humor with emotional honesty, the story explores identity, belonging, and the ways we cope with embarrassment, failure, and change. With Sonnenblick’s accessible, fast-moving style and sharp insight into adolescence, this is a coming-of-age tale that feels both entertaining and deeply resonant.
