The Year of Living Awkwardly

Description

Another toe-curlingly awkward and laugh-out-loud diary from Chloe Snow, hapless high schooler and all-round disaster magnet. It's Chloe Snow's sophomore year of high school, and life has only grown more complicated. Last year, Chloe was the star of the musical. This year, she's just a lowly member of the ensemble. Chloe's best friend, Hannah, is no help: she's been sucked into the orbit of Lex, evil Queen Bee of the class. Meanwhile, Chloe's dad is busy falling in love with Miss Murphy, and her mother is MIA in Mexico with her much younger bullfighting boyfriend, Javi... If only Chloe could talk to Grady about it - he's easy to talk to. Or he was, until he declared his love for Chloe, she turned him down because despite all her rational brain cells she can't seem to get over Mac, and then Grady promptly started going out with Lex. GAH! As the performance of the show approaches, Chloe must find a way to navigate all the messy elements of her life and make it through the end of the year. 'A mash-up of Mean Girls, High School Musical and MTV's Awkward, Chloe Snow's Diary is one of the best teen reads of 2017' - culturefly.co.uk
