A heartfelt, uplifting coming-of-age story…
Wesorick delivers a heartfelt coming-of-age tale that captures the awkward, tender, and transformative early days of high school in her compelling YA drama. Becky “Becks” has always felt like she’s on the margins, hoping for a chance to be seen. With her fearless best friend Trina by her side, she sets her sights on the competitive dance team while secretly wishing her longtime crush, Nate, will finally notice her. When her grandfather gives her a four-leaf clover necklace, luck seems to finally be on her side. Is it magic, or simply the courage she’s had all along?
Wesorick captures the small but defining rhythms of adolescence—bus rides, shifting friendships, and the subtle strength of family ties. Rather than drama, the novel draws its force from lived-in detail and the quiet intensity of ordinary moments. Becks’ insecurities feel relevant, and her gradual step toward confidence makes her both endearing and unforgettable. Warm, lighthearted, and fun, the novel makes for a relatable portrait of resilience, friendship, and the quiet strength it takes to believe in yourself.
A gem for readers who love character-driven stories about friendship, resilience, and self-discovery.
