Summary

When will I get my first period? How do bras work? Am I ready to have sex? These questions and more filled the minds of our teenage selves, but we weren't sure where to find the answers. Before the internet existed, many of us turned to books. This week, Meg is joined by the creator and host of the SSR podcast Alli Hoff Kosik to talk about all the secret and important and life-changing things we learned from young adult literature, and Alli fills us in on how YA books have changed since we were teens. All of that plus a great read for right now and music for these last sunny days of late summer in Awesome of the Week! VISIT THE BRAND NEW SORTA AWESOME MERCH SHOP!
