The Year of Living Awkwardly

Bridget Joness Diary meets Mean Girls as lovably flawed high school student Chloe Snow chronicles another year in her life while she navigates the highs and lows of family, friendship, school, and love in a diary that sparkles with humor and warmth. Its Chloe Snows sophomore year of high school, and life has only grown more complicated. Last year, Chloe was the star of the musical. This year, after an audition so disastrous she runs off the stage in tears, shes cast as a lowly member of the ensemble. Will she be able to make it through the show knowing everyones either pitying her or reveling in her downfall? Chloes best friend, Hannah, is no help: shes been sucked into the orbit of Lex, the velvet-gloved, iron-fisted ruler of the sophomore class. Chloes dad is busy falling in love with Miss Murphy, and Chloe is no longer speaking to her mother, who is sending her increasingly desperate and unhinged emails from Mexico. As her parents divorce negotiations unravel, a custody battle looms. If only Chloe could talk to Grady about it: his parents are divorced, and hes easy to talk to. Or he was, until he declared his love for Chloe, and she turned him down because despite all her rational brain cells she cant seem to get over Mac, and then Grady promptly started going out with Lex. 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 to the end of the year.
