A Hilarious Memoir about the Beauty of Friendship

Originally published October 3, 2016

Book cover with two silhouettes of little girls swinging. Book is titled Nobody's Cuter Than You.

If you experienced any of these things in high school or if any of these things make you happy then read this book:

  • Sonic drinks
  • College football
  • Enjoyed gas station powdered donuts on your drive to high school.
  • Were consistently late to first period in high school because of your need to stop for donuts.
  • Wrote a personal check to pay for the above-said donuts.
  • You have a strong desire for cute bangs but can never obtain them.
  • Drove around stalking boy’s houses that you had a crush on in high school.
  • Road trips are your favorite.
  • You have some of the best memories because they were shared with your friends.

The book is Nobody’s Cuter than You by Melanie Shankle. It’s a memoir about how beautiful friendship is. I laughed, I cried, I related to her stories and struggles. Feels like you are hanging out with a good friend.

I downloaded the audiobook from the library. I love listening to audiobooks because I can do two things at once such as dishes and book, workout and book, walk and book, laundry and book, etc.
