I hate giving this a low star rating, because Schrag continues being so honest here and really stretches in her writing, and it was emotionally resonant in that I really felt terrible for what she was going through - so much isolation, paranoia, continuing avoidant/anxious attachment conflict with S...

Schrag brought me so deeply into her high school self that I stayed up too late to finish it, reading in the heavy humidity in a dehydrated state and woke up with a headache. A book hangover. I was nothing like Ariel Schrag as a teenager so I very much enjoyed vicariously living her experiences. Lik...

Take one bio boy pretending to be an older trans to woo the lesbian of his dreams and things are bound to get awkward. All the stars for this fresh, funny, sweet, lovely romantic comedy filled with fabulous characters and great voices. Schrag reminds us in the best possible way that regardless of id...

If you were like the 99% of kids (according to the blurb) who hated middle school, then this book is full of ouch. Actually, even if you were one of the 1% (the cool kids who were not only popular but had neither academic nor family problems), then this book is full of at least second-hand ouch.A co...
I loved her earlier books with all my heart. This one, I can't even finish- it's too raw, too emotionally painful, and far too stream-of-consciousness and meandering. I'm sad that it didn't work for me. I think that in a lot of ways it felt self-indulgent- I was on page 200 & something and nothing h...
Ow. Reading this brought back very vivid memories of what used to be called junior high. As is usual in collections like this, there were some standout winners (both Ariel Schrag and her sister leap to mind) and some fairly forgettable bits. This is a warts and all evocation of adolescence- be warne...
