Praise for TBH, THIS IS SO AWKWARD: Srlsy, idk how Lisa does it. These characters are so real! XOXOXO!! <3 -- Lauren Myracle, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author Greenwald successfully blends emojis and text to bring the high drama and emotional changes of middle school to life. This first in a new series for preteens and young teens who value friendship and doing the right thing is pretty endearing. -- <em>Kirkus Reviews</em> This gem of a book is sprinkled with just enough muscle. To all my tween book BFFs: you will adore TBH, This Is So Awkward. -- Terra Elan McVoy, bookseller at Little Shop of Stories and author of <em>Drive Me Crazy</em> Lisa Greenwald goes beyond emojis to the power, both hurtful and helpful, inherent in this concentrated form of communication. Young readers (and their parents) will find characters who are cringe-worthily familiar! -- Starr LaTronica, Director, Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro, VT
