Publisher's summary

While her mother, aerobics queen Kiki Sparks, spends the summer touring Europe, 15-year-old Colie Sparks is stuck in sleepy Colby, North Carolina. But she's not complaining. For one thing, her Aunt Mira is a sweet, laid-back eccentric; for another, no one knows that back home in Charlotte Colie is seen as a formerly-fat "golf-course slut," the school scapegoat. Then, by fate or by accident, Colie lands a waitressing job, where she meets Morgan and Isabel. The two wisecracking--and wise--twentysomething waitresses help her turn her life around, and realize the potential that has been there all along.

Sarah Dessen's newest novel is poignant, humorous, and full of characters to cherish--what listeners are coming to expect from this extraordinary young talent.

Great story-outstanding narration

The narrative grabbed me hard & Ms Nielsen's read was terrific. Even though the MC was a teen, the voice went so well with the words to allow one to judge the age. A few other Dessen books, & YA as a genre often seem to have a reader whose voice is too young sounding for the depth of the content. This book was WELL done!!
The only complaint I have is I don't think we needed to hear when each original disc ended.

Complete At Last

If you have purchased this book but only received 12 out of 15 chapters, delete the files and download them to your device again. Audible has re-uploaded the book, and now all 15 chapters are available. Thank you, Audible, for resolving this issue. It is a wonderful story, one of Dessen's best. Memorable characters, simple but effective plot with life lessons most of us could use.

Missing part of the story

This particular copy is missing chapter 13 and 14 which is why I'm not impressed.
