Summary
“Amy Lea’s Woke Up Like This reminded me that the exciting and complicated feelings of our teenage years never truly fade away. The book perfectly captures high school nostalgia . . . It’s a feel-good story for the young and young at heart.”—Mindy Kaling
For two high school seniors, it’s seventeen going on thirty—overnight—in a magical romantic comedy about growing up too fast and living in the moment.
Planning the perfect prom is one last “to do” on ultra-organized Charlotte Wu’s high school bucket list. So far, so good, if not for a decorating accident that sends Charlotte crash-landing off a ladder, face-first into her obnoxiously ripped archnemesis J. T. Renner. Worse? When Charlotte wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar bed at thirty years old, with her bearded fiancé, Renner, by her side.
Either they’ve lost their minds or they’ve been drop-kicked into adulthood, forever trapped in the thirty-year-old bodies of their future selves. With each other as their only constant, Charlotte and Renner discover all that’s changed in the time they’ve missed. Charlotte also learns there’s more to Renner than irritating-jock charm, and that reaching the next milestone isn’t as important as what happens in between.
Navigating a series of adventures and a confounding new normal, Charlotte and Renner will do whatever it takes to find a way back to seventeen. But when—and if—they do, what then?
Critic reviews
“Narrator Natalie Naudus gives an expressive and engaging performance. Her delightful delivery, paired with the playful narrative, creates a captivating listening experience. This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a hilarious, coming-of-age contemporary romance about living in the moment. Recommended for fans of Sarah Adams, Sarah Jost, and Allison Winn Scotch.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“Natalie Naudus shines as she transports listeners to Maplewood, California, where we meet career-driven high school senior Charlotte Woo.… Naudus delivers a magical performance that showcases the vulnerabilities, tension, and longing between Charlotte and J.T. Both Young Adult and adult listeners will fall in love with this sweet teenage rom-com, which creates a blissful amount of high school nostalgia and first-love happiness.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Lea creates a story that is part 13 Going on 30, part To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (both referenced in the pop-culture savvy text), and 100% swoony fun… A fun, nostalgic story that’s perfect for anyone who wants to take a trip down Memory Lane.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Enjoyed the journey
I really liked the development of this story & the twist on the 13 going on 30 premise! Just before the half way mark I took a correct swing at the ending plot, but that didn’t stop me enjoying the journey to get there.
I found myself wanting to shake the main character on many occasions but I think that’s the beauty in this writing/performance. As someone who is turning 30 I can look back & I know I would have sounded/acted the same way. Equally wanting to give myself a shake! The author is authentic to that perspective of the characters & how self absorbed our teenage selves could be!
I wish I could have stayed in the world a little longer & could hear more about their future!
