Better than expected

Funny yet touching

First of all, thank you Hachette Children’s Books for this review copy! I’d already enjoyed reading The DUFF a lot, and this book promised to be set in the same world, and might even be better. So thanks again for getting me this book! Lying Out Loud,...

Compelling and impossible to put down
