This book was cute. It’s not often I read stories with men as the main character especially when they are younger. I grew up in the time before phones so this story started out very similar to my upbringing. Cute story.

I'm sorry!! I just couldn't get along with this book. I was thinking about DNF when I was 30% on the book but it feels like too fast to do that so I decided to keep reading until it was 51% and I really couldn't stay it longer. I do care about the characters at some moments but the fact that this book is going more into the sex scenes has just pissed me off!

Thank you to the author for this free copy!

It's all about a girl in Visalia, California, for Will. A band of friends, playing together and then the band direction changed. When Hannah moved into town everything changed for Will.

It's a journey of self-discovery for everybody. What will the outcome be. Is it really all about one girl?

About A Girl tells the story from Will's perspective about his teenage years from middle school to his final year of high school. Stephens writing brings the story to life and I found myself back in the 90s as a teenager experiencing those years along with the characters of the story. I will admit a lot of it was very cringe worthy and there were times I didn't want to finish the book. I don't think it's a story I would really choose myself, but I have to give credit to the excellent writing, and the accuracy of how the teenage experience was portrayed.

This was a enjoyable read by a new to me author. I felt like it was written well and was interesting and intriguing enough to hold my interest throughout.
I think a lot of readers will also enjoy this one.

There were no cell phones. There was no social media. In the 1990's everything was in person.

Coming of age in Visalia, California was simple for Will; it was always about a girl. There was one girl in particular, though, that monopolized his thoughts. Her name was Hannah. She was the most beautiful girl that Will had ever seen.

Will had a band with his friends, Rob and Chris. They had been playing together for two years and were reaching a point where they differed on the direction of the band. Will wanted to branch out musically, but Rob wanted to keep everything the same. It was a struggle. The focus changed; however, when Hannah moved down the street from Chris.

Follow Will on his journey of self-discovery, friendship, love, and betrayal to find out if life is indeed, simply, about a girl.
