Description

In CRUSHMORE, Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari, and Nava Kavelin, co-hosts of the Podcrushed podcast, explore the simultaneous pain and joy of coming of age through their own heartfelt experiences. From first crushes and those early pangs of jealousy, to the pressure to fit in and feelings of cultural shame, all the way to reflections on being an internet Zaddy. This is a book that tackles what it means to come of age at every age. Because, let's face it, sometimes adulthood can feel every bit as crushing.
