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. likes not Gracie but 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 texts, just as if she were Sienna. Because Gracie
is fine. Always! She's had lots of practice being the sidekick,
second-best.
It's all good. Well, almost all. She's trying.
Funny and tender, Well, That Was Awkward goes deep into the heart of
middle school, and finds that even with all the heartbreak, there can be
explosions of hope and moments of perfect happiness.
