About this audiobook
Could anything be more awkward than helping your best friend flirt with your crush? Find out in this charming and relatable middle grade novel from the beloved author of Unfriended.
"This tween romance proves that some stories stand the test of time." —School Library Journal
★ "Vail captures the anguish and hilarity at the heart of middle school." —The Horn Book, starred review
Thirteen-year-old Gracie has never felt like this before. One day, she suddenly can’t breathe, can’t walk, can’t anything—and the reason is standing right there in front of her, all tall and weirdly good-looking: A.J.
But it turns out A.J. doesn’t like Gracie. He likes Gracie’s beautiful best friend, Sienna. Obviously, Gracie is happy for Sienna. Super happy! She helps Sienna compose the best texts, responding to A.J.’s surprisingly funny and appealing messages just as if she were Sienna. Because Gracie is fine. Always! She’s had lots of practice being the sidekick, the second best.
It’s all good. Well, almost.
Well, That Was Awkward perfectly captures the hardships, drama, and awkwardness of middle school. It’s the perfect read for anyone who needs a reminder that, through all the trials and tribulations, there can be explosions of hope and moments of pure happiness.
