I will say that at first I wasn’t sure if I was the ideal reader at the old age of 24. It simply represents young people today and the lives they may have. Overall it is a sweet read and has a very diverse group of characters, although I have to say it doesn’t seem forced. This is truly a book about friendship and finding your way. Lucy writes about anxiety so well, there are few books that have such good representation. While fighting with her anxiety and past experiences. Who needs friends when you have books, right? It’s only after going to the library she finds a leaflet for a new book club and decides to take the plunge. Since Tabby moved in with her Grandma making friends hasn’t been at the top of her priority list. THEN I got super lucky and was granted an advance reader copy through Netgalley (thank you to Lucy, the publisher and Netgalley) and I’m so glad I did. If you’re a big fan of YA in the UK you might join in on UKYA chat hosted by none other than Lucy Powrie so when we found out she was publishing a book of course I preordered it. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING – especially when making new friends brings out an AWKWARD BUZZING feeling all over her body. Then Tabby joins a club that promises to celebrate books. She doesn’t want to go to parties – in fact, she would much rather snuggle up on the sofa with her favourite book. Tabby Brown is tired of trying to fit in.
