"Changing bodies, developing personalities, forays into adult activities--where was this book circa the early 2000s when I needed it? But something tells me my adult self will learn a thing or to from it as well."

"Change. It's the one universal thing that everyone goes through, especially in high school.
Changers Book One: Drew ratchets that up a notch and kicks open the door, with both humor and panache. Big questions and equally big highs (laughs) and lows (cries). And you thought high school was awkward before!"
