Junior Review: Truly Tyler

After Emmie reveals her crush toward Tyler, no one can leave either of them alone. Especially when Tyler starts to hang out with her. 

He has to decide how he should avoid embarrassment before he becomes the laughing stock of the entire school. Should he end his friendship with Emmie before it’s too late? 

Or should he deal with his friends’ constant teasing?

Meanwhile Emmie is worried that it is her fault that Tyler is being constantly harassed. 

She decides if she is to hang out and complete an exciting comics project with her crush then it is time for a whole new reinvention. 

But how can she ever be cool enough for her crush? She better find out soon, before her love life turns her into a standing joke.

This book was an interesting and highly relatable story. Terri Libenson is able to write amazing life-like scenarios that make all teenagers instantly relate to the array of characters. This book, and all the others in this series, are perfect for tweens and early teens.
