Picks of the Day: Friday 21st September, 2012

The first season was 100 percent drama all the way: Jenna’s clumsy domestic accident was epically misread as a suicide attempt, her heart torn between Jake and Matty, and her rivalry with the meanest of all cheerleaders got ugly. Jenna’s misfortune eventually serves as the catalyst for amazing change, but it’s not without some missteps and mishaps along the way.

Season 2 picks up with Jenna and Jake officially dating. Find out what else is in store for this loveable teen. Narrated in the first-person voice of Jenna Hamilton’s blog posts, Awkward captures the humour within the struggles and experiences everyone can relate to from their formative years.
