🎒Book Review🎒

Crushmore: Essays on Love, Loss, and Coming-of-Age by Nava Kavelin, Penn Badgley, and Sophie Ansari
🏷️Nonfiction Essays
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✏️SYNOPSIS:
On @podcrushed, hosts Penn, Nava, and Sophie interview celebrities to learn about their adolescent selves. Who were they at 12 years old? How has the middle school experience shaped their adulthood? As poignant, nostalgic, sometimes hilarious, and occasionally cringey as these memories can be, it was time for the hosts to turn the tables on themselves. This brilliant essay collection is their chance to reflect on their own adolescence in order to reconnect with their past selves and navigate a hopeful future.

📝MY THOUGHTS:
It’s official: I’ve been back to school for a few weeks, and the teacher tired vibes are real! BUT, I also love September, the promise of crisp autumn air, and new beginnings. (Plus, you know Virgo season and my birthday month. Woo!) I figured it’s perfect timing to feature this collection that I loved so much that I read the book AND listened on audio. This testament to growing up is such an honest tribute to working in a high school and seeing how wholesome, vulnerable, awkward, but lovely those teen years can be. As a huge fan of Podcrushed, I knew I needed to hear these inspiring hosts read their own pieces too. I began the podcast for Penn, but Nava and Sophie stole the show for me with their genuine, insightful reflections and questions for guests, but also their connection to the education world as former teachers themselves. I was devastated when they (prematurely!) ended their podcast run, but having this preserved collection of their stories and voices feels so comforting. As I begin this new school year, reflecting on their relatable experiences is like a warm hug. There is such beauty and heartbreak in their shared vulnerability. And essays like Sophie’s “In Her Orbit” and “Where Did My Family Go?” feel like glancing into a mirror. And these are just a couple of the favorites from this book! For community, connection, and care, this one is a must-read!

P.S. Featuring my classroom affirmation station as a reminder of how awesome you are! 💙
