“Girls in early adolescence will love this book—as will their mothers. From the first page, readers are sucked into a story both angst-y and funny, as Charlie copes with a mutual crush on Kevin; an increasingly tenuous relationship with her best friend, Tess; her first paying job; and other trials and triumphs of growing up. An enjoyable romance that eschews smutty for sweet. - Kirkus Reviews
