Description

In this poignant, funny, and illuminating essay collection from the hosts of the Podcrushed podcast, Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari, and Nava Kavelin tackle stories from adolescence and beyond, exploring what it means to come of age at every stage of our lives.

In their debut essay collection, Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari, and Nava Kavelin flip the script on their hit Podcrushed podcast--which features guests' stories about their formative teenage experiences--to share their own stories of heartbreak, anxiety, and self-discovery for the first time.

From first crushes to first jealousies, from dreams realized to dreams deferred, Crushmore dives into the simultaneous awkwardness and joy of growing up. With humour, compassion, and insight, Penn, Sophie, and Nava unravel the ups and downs of their own coming of age, and highlight how we can find healing--and even inspiration--from our awkward adolescent selves long after we thought we left them behind.
