Crushmore
From hosts of Podcrushed, this essay collection celebrates those formative years of early adolescence and how those always awkward, often humiliating, and occasionally sweet moments played such a role in shaping our lives.
In their debut essay collection, Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari, and Nava Kavelin flip the script on their hit Podcrushed podcastβwhich features guests' stories about their formative teenage experiencesβto 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 healingβand even inspirationβfrom our awkward adolescent selves long after we thought we left them behind.
