Absolutely Meby Shirley StaggsEmma Leigh Anderson had life all planned out - until life decided to laugh back. Born into a busy working family, Emma was supposed to be the all-American girl: cheerleader, popular, and on track to marry the guy of her dreams. But after her parents moved from the country to the city's east end, Emma found herself hating her new school, her new crowd, and pretty much everything except sarcasm and snacks. By the time she hits college, Emma's plan for "barely surviving" turns into a comedy of errors, late-night study sessions, friendship drama, a guitar-playing boy with one ex too many, and a rival named Lucinda Remerez who never met a spotlight she didn't love. Through heartbreaks, awkward stage moments, and a few accidental viral videos, Emma discovers that the secret to happiness isn't being perfect, it's learning to laugh at the mess, love the people who stick around, and be unapologetically, hilariously, Absolutely Me.
