Description
At twelve, Annemarie Wilcox—known to her family as Shug—is convinced that being tall, freckled, and flat-chested makes her completely unremarkable. Starting junior high brings shifting friendships, confusing feelings, and the painful realization that growing up may mean drifting away from the people she loves most, including her lifelong friend Mark and her best friend Elaine. As Shug navigates misunderstandings, heartbreak, family life, and an unexpected connection with Mark’s friend Jack, she begins to discover that becoming herself is more important than fitting anyone else’s idea of who she should be. Tender, funny, and emotionally perceptive, this coming-of-age novel explores self-esteem, independence, friendship, and the complicated first steps toward adolescence.
