My nice blog friend Sarah B.--who has been one of my favorite writers, in any medium, for years--wrote a book that went on sale today. It’s called Cringe, and it features diaries and journal entries from a variety of teens and pre-teens, along with candid commentary from the adult selves of those young wordsmiths.

Unfortunately, I have a few paragraphs in the book as well.  But it’s my solemn promise that I don’t louse up the joint too badly; my contribution is quickly skimmed through so you can move on to the real purveyors of angst and comedy.

It makes a great gift for anybody--preferably for someone who likes to read and laugh, but also for people who need something solid to prop up a table leg.  Check it out.
