This book took me back a few decades, to those confused (and often embarrassing teenage years). Of course, back in my day there was no social media/internet to complicate teenage angst/first love.
This book follows the story of Lara - she's a fairly typical teen, in that she hates her hair, has a huge crush on the new boy at school, has a close knit group of friends - but also seems to have attracted the attention of an enemy.
She's also the school's star football player and is now the captain of a team that is approaching a record 100 games without defeat.
It's a fun and fast paced teen romcom really. Lara is full of insecurities and so, so clumsy at times but a really likeable character. The book is peppered with emojis and has the real feel of a teenage diary. She has challenges but also finds strength where she only once had insecurity.
A fab read with an empowering and positive message.
