Dear Boyfriend…and Other High School Dilemmas

The Emma Bishop Series, Book 2

De: Rebecca Garner

Narrado por: Krissy Barnes

The butterflies pick up their pace. I like that Andy isn’t trying to be coy. Like, he’s making it pretty clear that he’s into me. And I’m into that.

Emma Bishop is ready for a fresh start. She's in high school now, after all, so there's no room for last year’s drama to follow her. She's older and wiser, more confident, and determined to make this her best year yet.

In what might be the most exciting development of her life, Emma finally has a boyfriend. Andy is cute and nice and really likes her–what could go wrong? As it turns out, everything.

From sleepovers to high school dances, dreaming of her first boyfriend to having one glued to her side, Emma is excited, nervous, and most of all, confused. It doesn’t stop there though. She finds herself navigating dynamic shifts in her friend group, break-ups and make-ups, sibling relationships, and all the dilemmas that come with being a freshman in high school.

Dear Boyfriend…and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it’s really like to be a teenager. Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all.

Takes me back to high school!

This was such a great read/listen! I love how the author made me feel like I was in high school again. It was so easy for me to imagine myself as Emma and bring back all the feelings I had in high school. Not only is the nostalgia real, but I know these feelings are relevant to this day as well. Rebecca is a great and relatable writer, and I can’t wait for her next book in the series! Highly recommend for mothers and young girls!

Brings you right back!

It brought me right back to high school all the butterflies and then the ick. Endless time with your besties and the simplicity of life! Can’t wait for Emma number 3!

This book transported me back to being 14 again.

Oh my heart. This book transported me back to being 14 again. Rebecca perfectly captured those teenage feelings and navigating friendships and first romantic relationships. I wish I’d had this series when I was 14.

There is a certain scene with a boy from bio that just reminded so much of my first boyfriend and the unpleasantness of having someone come on so strong, but you feel like you should go along with it.

Everyone remembers their first heartbreak but Rebecca perfectly captures that occasion of the first time you break someone else’s heart. Of navigating the push and pull of trying to do the right things, but not wanting to hurt someone.

Not only did this book speak to my inner 14 year old, but as a mom now, it hit me in entirely different ways and made me emotional.

Wholesome, sweet, angsty - Dear Boyfriend tells the story of navigating friendships, romantic relationship, and familial dynamics.

Krissy Barnes did such a great job as the narrator - perfectly voicing Emma and bringing her character to life. Great production quality too.

Dear Boyfriend...and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it's really like to be a teenager.
