Well, That Was Awkward

(1) 4-6 Gracie realizes she like-likes AJ Rojanasopondist. AJ like-likes Gracie's best friend, Sienna. Despite nursing a mild heartache, Gracie helps Sienna compose texts to AJ, whose messages feel oddly familiar--kind of like Gracie's close friend Emmett. Gracie's breakneck narration (presented in and out of text messages) folds in an effortlessly diverse cast. Through Gracie's rollicking commentary, Vail captures the anguish and hilarity of middle school.
