"A refreshingly funny and blisteringly unsentimental coming-of-age memoir." --John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Turtles All The Way Down and The Fault in Our Stars

In Akilah Hughes's world, family--and life--are often complicated, but always funny. Through intimate and hilarious essays, Akilah takes readers along on her journey from the small Kentucky town where she was born--and eventually became a spelling bee champ and 15-year-old high school graduate--to New York City, where she took careful steps to fulfill her dream of becoming a writer and performer.

Like Tiffany Haddish's The Last Black Unicorn or Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? for the YA set, Akilah pens revealing and laugh-out-loud funny essays about her life, covering everything from her racist fifth grade teacher, her struggles with weight and acne, her failed attempts at joining the cheerleading team, how to literally get to New York (hint: for a girl on a budget, it may include multiple bus transfers) and exactly how to "make it" once you finally get there.

„Un memoriu revigorant, amuzant si nesimtitor de nesimtit, pentru varsta de varsta”. --John Green, autorul bestseller-ului New York Times # 1 al cartii Turtles All The Way Down si The Fault in Our Stars In lumea, familia si viata lui Akilah Hughes sunt adesea complicate, dar intotdeauna amuzante. Prin eseuri intime si hilar, Akilah ia cititorii in calatoria ei din micul oras Kentucky unde s-a nascut - si in cele din urma a devenit campion la albine ortografice si absolvent de liceu in varsta de 15 ani - la New York, unde a luat pasi atenti pentru a-si indeplini visul de a deveni scriitoare si interpreta. La fel ca The Last Black Unicorn de Tiffany Haddish sau Mindy Kaling's Are Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
