Darla Decker Hates to Wait (The Darla Decker Diaries, #1) by Jessica McHugh

While its genre is YA, even adults will enjoy this book and will be taken down memory lane to their own early adolescence. Ms. McHugh captures the reality of the humor, pain, love, and learning that comes at this age. Even more so, the story is told honestly and doesn't paint a picture of middle school that is flowery and unrealistic. I loved this book and can't wait to see what the coming years have in store for Darla Decker!
