Story
Italy, 1990. Twelve-year-old Leda is a bookworm and a tomboy. As her world splits into girls and boys, she can't seem to fit anywhere. On the background of the 14th FIFA soccer world cup, Leda embarks on a new series of side-splitting-laughter adventures dealing with hormones, periods, zesty boys, and her own fears, in what will be the best summer of her life. The guy to win her nerdy heart will be the most unlikely one.

Would you consider the audio edition of Out of the Nest to be better than the print version?
I loved them both, but the Italian accent in the audio definitely adds to to story! BEWARE! Early audio version had chapter 1 truncated (9 minutes and 30 seconds rather than around 12. I downloaded the book again and the problem was solved.)
What did you like best about this story?
Leda. She's real, she's smart, but she's also a mess. I liked that characters are flawed but very relatable. I liked that I felt like a teenager all over again. I loved the Italian setting. Places and emotions are described with such imagery and skill that I just could not stop reading
What does Gaia B. Amman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The accent, the energy, excellent really!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I just could not stop, but found myself so upset when it ended. Not like I did not like the end (no spoilers!) it was perfect. I just want to hear more!
Any additional comments?
Buy it already, you won't regret it. I had not read book one in the saga and had no problem whatsoever following the story. I bought one immediately after this and I liked it just as much.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
