Publisher Description
Annemarie “Shug” Wilcox is clever and brave and true, on the inside anyway. And she is about to become your new best friend in this enchanting middle grade novel from Jenny Han, bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, made into a 2018 major motion picture.
Annemarie Wilcox, or Shug as her family calls her, is beginning to think there’s nothing worse than being twelve. She’s too tall, too freckled, and way too flat-chested. Shug is sure that there’s not one good or amazing thing about her. And now she has to start junior high, where the friends she counts most dear aren’t acting so dear anymore—especially Mark.

"Because I have to read all the Caudill books, I randomly started this one. At first I groaned about how girly it was and didn't think I would enjoy it. Instead, I found it "real" and refreshing - the character I really related to as being the "awkward junior high kid" who was a late bloomer (reminds me of myself). It was really just cute, sweet and still dealt with some serious issues of friendship, divorce, dating, etc."

" cute book, It reminded me of Are you there God...? by Judy Blume. But I like Shug much more then I ever liked Margaret "

" There's some swear words in this book... ones that make you laugh. This book is REALLY girly. I'm not going to spoil anything so you have to read it yourself! "

" Super cute little coming of age book. I remembered feeling exactly like this girl "
— Magdelyn, 2/10/2014 -
" This was a nice and cute read. Shug is just trying to fit in to her new school. I guess i could say that i understand her(seeing how i'm a 7th grader) which made this a very nice read. It was cute,funny,and fast paced. Before you know it, you'll be falling in love with Shug too! "
— Abigail, 2/8/2014 -
" This is fairly well-written realistic pre-teen fiction for age 10 to 12, in the vein of Judy Blume's books. The kids are supposedly going into 7th grade, but they act more like they are in 9th grade. (Maybe it was 9th grade 30 years ago.) The book ultimately worked for me emotionally, so I gave it 4 stars. "

" A more modern "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" type book. Anne Marie (Shug) is starting middle school and has just realized she's in love with the boy next door who she has been friends with her whole life. He, however, is gaga for Shug's older sister, Celia - as all the guys are. Shug tries to navagate these new feelings, her changing relationships with friends now that boys are in the picture, her parent's rocky marriage, and her mother's drinking. "

" I recommend this book. It relates to mostly people between the ages of 10-13, but is a really good book. I liked it a lot, and couldn't put it down. I've read it about 3 times, and everytime,it gets better. "

" I loved it!!! This book is a Rebecca Caudill, it is such a quick read and so cute. I could relate to so many of the main character's experiences. She totally captures the essence of middle school drama. I really felt for the characters. I can't wait for more of Jenny Han's work! "

" I picked this up a while ago to read while I was finishing Breaking Dawn (I didn't want it to end so I figured 2 books would stretch it out). To me it was just a bit of fluff but in the end I ended up really enjoying it! :b "

" This was such a fun and adorable read. When I first picked this book I had my doubts, but this book was funny, imaginative and totally original. I got so absorbed into Shug's life, that I read through the book so quickly and it just left me wanting more. I hope theres a sequel! "
