The Year of Living Awkwardly Sophomore Year Chloe Snow Diary Emma Chastain Books

Rating: 4.5 Stars

If I was asked to describe The Year of Living Awkwardly in three words, I would say: delightful, amusing, and honest.

When I started this book, I was immediately captured by Chloe's voice. Chloe clearly came across as a 15-year-old teen, and I found her musings, observations, frustrations, and fears very believable. I fell in love with her. I was happy, when she was happy, and sad, when she was sad. I raged with her, hurt with her, and even swooned with her. There were so many times I wanted to reach into the book and give her a hug, because this was a tough year for Chloe.

She experienced a lot of disappointments during her sophomore year. There was her parents' divorce, growing apart from her best friend, losing some other valuable friendships, and additional smaller, but no less disheartening, let downs. However, all these were valuable life lessons for Chloe, and only made her stronger and wiser.

Confession: I read this book, and then went back and read the first book. From my personal experience, I can tell you that the book stands on its own. Chastain fills in all the pertinent details, and you will not be lost in the story. Now, I had thought Chloe grew tremendously over the course of this story, but after reading the first book, I was really impressed with how much she changed since her freshman year. It's one of the things I love about this type of series. Getting to watch the character pass so many milestones, make mistakes, and learn from them. I think Chloe's worldview changed a lot from book 1 to book 2, and you see it in her self-awareness.

There were many times I was really proud of Chloe in this book. She made some decisions, which could have been social suicide, nipped some toxic relationships in the bud, faced some big fears, and acknowledged some of her own shortcomings. This was such a huge difference from High School Disaster Chloe.

The diary format is one I really enjoy. I feel like the character can just share their thoughts without any filter, since this is being written just for them. It's confessional in nature and usually quite revealing. Chloe's shares were quite sincere, and often hilarious. I laughed so much while reading this book, but I also thought some of Chloe's entries were insightful, and I enjoyed getting to know her so well.

Overall: What a wonderful and fun year I got to spend with Chloe! Chloe will join Ruby Oliver and Georgia Nicholson on my list of confessional protagonists, who I love. I look forward to spending Junior and Senior year with Chloe!

The Year of Living Awkwardly Sophomore Year Chloe Snow Diary Emma Chastain Books Reviews

So last year, the first book in this series came out...and it was a hot mess. I wasn't a fan at all but I wanted to see not only if Emma's writing improved but if Chloe improved as a person because she was extremely self-centered and narcissistic in the first book. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book was a delight. I enjoyed watching Chloe evolve and even though its another year in high school and the drama is persistent, Chloe showed maturity.

I think what I enjoyed most about this story was Chloe's self awareness, as you read the pages, she slowly transforms and morphs into someone who is conscious of the impact we have on others. But my hands down favorite part is when Chloe acknowledges how ridiculous and over the top she is being. She acknowledges it, owns it, and tries to improve. Emma really captures the complex navigation of high school while ensuring the character depth and development.

The best friend drama will resonate with high schoolers as we have all felt that separation happen at some point. And if that wasn't enough, Emma sprinkles a dash of Mean Girls in the from of Chloe's own Regina George (Reese). Chloe takes the highs and lows of sophomore year in stride, and in the end she leaves me smiling and feeling hopeful for her future.

While in Chloe's freshman year she was brash, horny, and dramatic when it came to boys, this year she is more realistic. It's no longer the world revolving around Mac and to see her finally get out of her head was a breath of fresh air. As I closed the pages on this book, I feel that Chloe, Hannah, and Tris all learned an important lesson in this book but more importantly, they are all better characters than they were when I started the book.
Chloe has a fun voice and sense of humor that takes me back to my teenage years, back when everything was supposed to be simple, but wasn’t because of teenage awkwardness.

This book reads just like a diary entry. Many of the entires are short and filled with thoughts as they come to Chloe. While there are consistent themes, like family, friendship, and romance, there are also many smaller subplots following Chloe’s journey into sophomore year, and they get resolved at different times. This is great in that it reflects actual life, but it was a bit harder to read as a book because I wanted to have a unifying plot to follow.

That said, I enjoyed seeing Chloe’s growth as she takes the lessons that she learned freshman year. She still has much to learn, but she’s grown more mature and is capable of handling issues that were overwhelming to her as a freshman.

I especially like how Chloe comes to realizations about what is important in life. Such as finding meaning in the role she’s given, being a true friend when others won’t be, and learning to love people who are hard to love. Lastly, she learns that romantic love isn’t all about the sparks and the immediate physical attraction or even about looking for someone higher up on the social hierarchy. What’s important is finding someone who genuinely cares about you and will be by your side.

Content warning Chloe thinks a lot about sex, and there are mentions of characters doing various sexual activities. There is also some language.
