Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“This delightfully modern take on a classic story is both fun and funny, sexy and sex positive, and if all that’s not enough, I have two more words for you: Jane Austen.” * Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay and We Are Inevitable *
“Fresh is a book I wish had existed when I was a teenager: frank, laugh-out-loud funny, and a refreshing (pun intentional) peek behind the intimidating curtain that separates high school and college. The best part? Our intrepid narrator, Elliot McHugh: messy, imperfect, sincere, hilarious, and warm—a character you will miss long after the book is over.” * Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series *
“Margot Wood’s Fresh bubbles over with irreverence, humor, and heart, capturing teen spirit in all its incarnations and creating a new classic for a new generation.” * Danielle Paige, New York Times bestselling author *
“Eliot McHugh is the bold, funny, and sex-positive friend you wish you had with you to help navigate freshman year of college.” * Sara Farizan, author of Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel *
“I couldn’t stop reading! I was dying to know if Elliot would have a happy ending.” * Abigail Hing Wen, New York Times bestselling author of Loveboat, Taipei *
Unabashedly sex-positive and queer. . .A fresh, funny, college-set, coming-of-age tale. * Kirkus Reviews *
Strong secondary characters, including Elliot’s precocious younger sister and her matter-of-fact RA, reveal Elliot’s strengths and flaws, and character discussions around consent and sexual discovery ring true. * Publishers Weekly *
Wood’s debut is fun, written in an effervescent voice that dares readers to take the risks Elliot does—and to fall in love with her along the way. * Booklist *
