This is a sweet story about 12-year-old Addie who wishes she was 16. Addie watches her older sister (who is 16) and just knows that being 16 holds all the freedom and fun that she longs for. She wants to be pretty, popular, and experience all the exciting things she sees her sister is doing. When Addie's wish mysteriously comes true, she has to learn to navigate life as a 16-year-old, with no memory about the intervening 4 years! This means she has no idea how to handle trigonometry, speak French for class, or even how to find her locker. Worst of all, her best friend at 12 is no longer her best friend - or even speaking to her - and she has no idea what happened. Addie has to solve all of this while trying to maintain life at 16 - not an easy feat!
This is my first Jessica Brody book and now I have no idea why. Her writing is fantastic and the story was so much fun. I liked Addie from the first page and even though I knew the story was going to be a bit painful, having to watch Addie blunder through things, it was fun at the same time. The character grows a lot through the pages and it was a satisfying read overall. Now I'm off to check out all of Brody's other books!

4.5 stars, rounded up
Jessica Brody has done it again. She’s one of my favorite authors, and this might be my favorite middle grade book ever. It was so cute, with vibes of 13 going on 30. There was less romance than I would have liked (because he was great and I loved him) and it didn’t seem feasible that 12 year old Addie (in 16 year old Addie’s body) could teach herself to drive using only YouTube videos, but those were my only complaints. I loved Addie’s relationship with the old lady Mrs. Toodles, I loved Grace, and I loved the love interest. Addie had a lot of growth as well.
I can’t wait for Jessica Brody’s next book.
