What it Feels Like to Finish Writing a B...

Peoples Media, This Is So Awkward
About this episode

One year ago, we finished writing our book, This Is So Awkward. The summer writing frenzy ended with giddy laughter and exhaustion. We pressed record literally five minutes after turning it in to be able to share, one day, what we learned about ourselves, each other and puberty in the process. A year later (and a month before publication) is that day!
