Book #3 in the Berrybrook Middle School series
Can Jorge balance friendship expectations with his own desires when dynamics shift?
Jorge, a gentle giant with a tight-knit group of friends, faces a dilemma when the group's dynamics begin to change. His confidence wavers only around one particular girl, complicating his feelings further. As peer expectations clash with his own desires, Jorge must navigate the tricky waters of friendship and self-discovery. Will he find the courage to pursue what he truly wants, or will he succumb to the pressures around him? Dive into this engaging tale of adolescence, where every choice could redefine friendships and personal growth.
Following the overwhelming success of AWKWARD and BRAVE, Svetlana Chmakova’s award winning Berrybrook Middle School series continues with its next installment - CRUSH!Jorge seems to have it all together. He’s big enough that nobody really messes with him, but he’s also a genuinely sweet guy with a solid, reliable group of friends. The only time he ever really feels off his game is when he crosses paths with a certain girl… But when the group dynamic among the boys starts to shift, will Jorge be able to balance what his friends expect of him versus what he actually wants?
