Why read it?

1 author picked Christa Comes Out of Her Shell as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As a long-time Abbi Waxman fan, I’m always pleased when she releases a new title. Her latest effort surprises as well as satisfies. With Christa, she has brought us an entirely new ensemble cast in a whole new setting, while still retaining the signature Waxman blend of quirky, endearing characters and wiseass humor. It’s also her best writing yet. Highly recommended.
