As someone who has always been drawn to coming-of-age stories, I found myself completely immersed in Willow Hadley's Smile Like You Mean It.

The balance between the raw, emotional moments and the humor found in the narrative kept me engaged throughout the audiobook. While the pacing might feel a bit slow at times, the overall story more than makes up for it. I highly recommend this audiobook for anyone seeking an empowering and relatable story that highlights the strength of a young girl's spirit in the face of adversity.
