TJ POWAR HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE

In this debut audiobook, TJ Powar is popular, brilliant, and beautiful-- or at least she used to be. After a cruel meme of TJ and her Sikh cousin, Simran, gets blasted across the internet, TJ takes a stand and stops shaving--everything--to prove that girls can be both hairy and beautiful. Narrator Mayuri Bhandari carefully crafts an outstanding performance as TJ, who, through a lot of trial and error, discovers self-acceptance and maybe even love. Bhandari moves smoothly among the story's diverse characters, making each one vivid and distinguishable, realistic and flawed. Even though TJ's relationship with herself and others is the focus, the author approaches numerous social issues with nuance and grace.
