I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this book - especially if I based myself on the cover. However, what followed was an absolutely delightful, at times cringe worthy (can you say oopps? imagine your most embarassing moment on YouTube for the world to see) and hilarious novel.

The main character and newest YouTube sensation is MacKenzie Wellesley who has always managed to stay out of the spotlight - somebody who knows to keep herself out of trouble - until that unfortunately incident - involving a football player and CPR.

Interestingly, as I read this novel, I found myself at times laughing, cringing (so happy it was NOT me) and cheering for MacKenzie.

While this story is delightful, it is also about sending a message - that you are okay just the way you are - the good points as well as those that need work.

I loved the way Mackenzie discovers things about herself along the way and becomes highly of just how fickle high school can be.

I loved cheering her on and kept thinking "let it go" and just keep moving ahead. Its a bit hard to review this book without giving too much of it away, but suffice it to say that I loved it and would definitely recommend AWKWARD to any YA (or adult) looking for a feel good read.
