I was going through a reading slump when I started reading this but it was so easy to read and Sarah is just a really likeable and funny character! I feel like I really related to her despite being in my early 20’s.
Sarah is your average popular high school girl who cares too much about her image. However, puberty and other supernatural abilities hit her as she discovers more about the boarding school she’s at.
This story has a mix of mystery, humour, supernatural/paranormal elements and an adorable talking beaver! I think it was done really well and I can’t wait to read more from this author!
Sarah Sorry is just like every other teenager, she has friends, family, school and all the pressures that go along with them. She is popular, pretty, and on a strict self-imposed diet so that she can stay that way.
We meet Sarah as she is going to a landmark festival with her family where she wants to meet up with her friends instead, it is held the last two weeks of summer every year and there is lots to see, do and experience. As she goes off with her friends to find a group of guys from school, they go on rides and then for something to eat, being a cheat day, she allows herself the carbs she normally avoids. This is seemingly all she has to worry about when she goes to meet her friends, until it isn’t.
The day after the festival, Sarah finds that she has to go into school a day early to pick her classes for the year, even though she would rather be spending time with her friends, but while she is there, her teacher looks like he has seen something in her teeth, she feels mortified to realise that it is a spot on her cheek and decided the only thing that she can do is to pop it, but quickly has to leave the school bathroom and premises when the mirror starts to melt and give off some seriously toxic gasses.
Later on that day she is preparing to go to see her friends when she gets another spot, which unfortunately, her little brother sees and she is mortified again. After the last time she dealt with a spot, she decides to go to the local river and take care of it, what she doesn’t know is that this time it has another affect and later that evening, a beaver knocks on her window and demands to be let in out of the rain because he is soaking wet and it is Sarah’s fault!
The next day Sarah realises that this is no normal beaver, he has just made himself a plate full of waffles and complained about the lack of maple syrup in the house and the revelations just keep on coming when she has to change schools because of the closure of her own and when a teacher goes to her home and tells her that she has been accepted into her school and it is the beaver who made the application for her.
What she doesn’t realise is that she is no ordinary student, this is no ordinary school and she is not going through ordinary puberty and her life is about to change forever. This is a coming of age story with a twist, will Sarah be able to come to terms with her spots and the change which is coming, or will she be Super Sorry that this whole adventure started? This is a mystery which you will have to read to find out what the future holds for both Sarah and her talking beaver friend.

Super sorry by C.A. King was not what I expected at all, but I loved it none the less! Sarah Sorry’s story is definitely fast paced, and I just couldn’t put it down. This author knows how to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat, needing to know what happens next! This is my first book that I’ve read from this author, and it will definitely not be the last! I definitely recommend both this book, and this author!

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Finn Cunningham
This is another great read by King. C.A. keeps me on the edge of my seat with all her books so far. I love reading these books and I can’t wait for more.
Sarah, aka Super Sorry, is sent away to a new school when hers shuts down. The thing with her school shutting down is partly her fault. What happens when she gets zits? The quote I chose for Sarah is: “I could ask you the same thing. Somehow, I never took you for the librarian apprentice type.”
Bane, superstar quarterback, finds himself at a new school when he hurts his friend. He finds that the new girl is not all that bad. The quote I chose for Bane is: “The way all super sleuths do. We snoop around. If they delivered stolen goods, they have to be hidden inside the school somewhere. Find them and we might find some answers.”
I picked up this book because I was intrigued by the description, and the cover is awesome. The story was not at all what I expected, but it made for an entertaining read. Make sure you have enough time set aside because you will want to read this all the way through in one sitting. I can’t say too much more about it or it will ruin the experience for you. Give this book a chance, or you’ll be Super Sorry you missed out!
Super Sorry by C.A. King was a fun light hearted read. I got a slice of life and coming of age read that got a lot of laughs from me. I loved Sarah Super, she felt like such a genuine character trying to figure out what route was best. I loved the development and the plot was great. I cannot wait to pick up another book by C.A King.
I wish that all books were as easy to read as this one was! I laughed and laughed throughout the entire thing! I truly appreciate the fresh breath of air that this book gave me. It wasn’t too deep or emotional. This is a great YA book.
This is a great young adult read but is so well written that even as an adult I was drawn in a captivated by the story. It had a strong female character and the authors writing is so good the images it creates bring the story to life.
Sarah Sorry has a simple life. She is popular and has good friends. To her appearances in everything. So imagine her horror when one day she gets a zit.
But these aren’t just normal zits. These show her the beginning of her powers that she didn’t know she had. She has no idea how to control them or how they work, and while trying to keep her image in tact she makes mistakes in more ways that one.
Being a teenager just got more complicated. Can she learn to control her power? Or will they destroy her image and status in school?
I love the way King always provides her readers with such a complete new world to delve into, whether pure fantasy or a YA tone. This YA keeper is just that – I loved Sarah and the story that unfolded. She is lovable and believable. From the epic cover design to the fantastic story that unfolded, all lovers of YA fantasy will thoroughly enjoy this tale. Two thumbs up!!
C.A. King is a go-to author for me, with the incredible storylines and brilliant characters this book was no different. I loved this storyline and the development of the characters. It flowed effortlessly from chapter to chapter and had me hooked from the very beginning. It’s a mentally visual read that made me connect to the story even more. I loved Sarah and following along on her journey was entertaining, action-packed and brilliant from the start. I highly recommend this read and anything else that this author brings!

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Chantelle Smith
Interesting new YA read by C.A. King. The name caught my attention first with it’s double meaning…. it gave a great insight into the direction the Author took this story. With some humor and tepicle teenage problems mixed together with a new take on supernatural fantasy, Super Sorry has it all. Great world building and the MC is funny and spunky just how I like them. But the stand out in this story was definitely her sidekick……
Super Sorry by C.A King is a wonderfully written story that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. I absolutely loved this book and reading about Sarah and her special abilities. Her world is about to be turned upside especially when she learns of her special abilities. Follow along as she learns to control her abilities and tries not to make a bunch of mistakes. I highly recommend reading this book and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Super Sorry by C.A. King USA Bestselling Author 4 Stars
I have to say that C.A. King has a wild imagination. I have never read a story quite like this. I loved it! It was quirky and original. Sarah Sorry is a teenager who believes appearances mean everything. She has abilities that emerge in the most unusual ways. Her life does a complete 360 but is it for the better? She is a super hero in the making but there will be mistakes along the way. It’s time she realizes what is really important. This is a definite must read.

I really like this author; her stories are always a pleasure to read. I find it so easy to get wrapped up in what I’m reading because of her fantastic descriptive language and world building. Super Sorry was a wonderful read full of everything I’ve come to expect from this author. I really liked the main character Sarah; I did feel sorry for her at ties with everything she was trying to navigate in her teenage life. She made me laugh a few times and she was definitely a connectable and likeable character. I can see this story definitely appealing to YA and I think they would enjoy it. Overall Super Sorry is a well written story that I really enjoyed. As always I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Super Sorry is another fantastic YA story by C.A King. It is full of teenage angst and struggle; a coming of age story with a difference- interwoven with some really wonderful supernatural and paranormal elements. This fantasy adventure is well worth the read- if for no other reason but to meet her trusty sidekick!

Super Sorry by C.A. King is one of the best examples of a YA fantasy story that I have read in a long time. This book had everything you could want – excitement, hilarity, an amazing character – while also show casing exactly what it is to be someone of this age. You really need to make sure you have plenty of time when you start reading this book as I can guarantee that once you start it you will not want to put it down! For me Sarah is such an incredible character. She was so easy to connect with and relate to. But I also found her to be so entertaining as well. She drew me fully in to this story and even now I find myself thinking about! This book is just another example of why this author has quickly become one of my favourites. I would highly recommend you reading this book today!
I have to say, this is my fav so far from CA King. I was immediately drawn into Super Sorry. From the gorgeous and eye catching cover to the fantasy world within that comes alive off the pages as you read. This is one of those you will wanna set aside a few hours so you can read this in one fell swoop. If you like it half as much as I did that will be too easy to do. I loved the way this book layered fantasy with real life in a way that makes the lessons easy to catch but still interesting and fun to read. Sarah is one awesome main character and she was fun to watch grow throughout the story. We find her as she discovers that she has abilities that she has no idea how to use. The journey she takes will have you laughing and cheering for her as she finds her way in this new and magical world. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from CA King!
Super Sorry by C. A. King is a great change of pace from the books I have been reading. C. A. is one of my go to writers and this story was wonderful. This is a YA read with all of the teenage challenges, not to mention adding in super powers. The characters are relatable and the story flows from beginning to end. Sarah Sorry is a typical teen, wanting to hang out with friends, but then things start changing. This is my new favorite book of C.A. King. I like the fact that most of her books are short enough to read in a day or two, and they are always pack with great writing and thought provoking issues. Review by @sunbarn

Super Sorry by C.A. King is a YA supernatural/paranormal story. It is a fun fantasy with a strong and sassy superhero. Our heroine finds that not everything is as it seems and decides to right the wrongs. But she is also going through the normal teenage angst of trying to fit in and finding your place in the world. Let’s not forget the trusty sidekick that is by her side. CA has done a great job of the world and character building and giving us a story that YA’s will enjoy.
I loved this story. This is one of my favorites by this author. One of the things I love most about this author is her ability to pull me into her story with her amazing writing skills and attention to details. Her characters are connectable which makes the story easy to read. This is a story about Sarah. Her whole world is about to turn upside down when she learns that she has special abilities. She cannot control these abilities and is making a ton of mistakes. For her things will never be the same again for her. I won’t say too much more about her story so that you pick up this book. She made such a great, strong character. She brings the story to life and made it entertaining for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.
I loved reading the book Super Sorry by C.A. King. It is a story that once I started reading, I found that I couldn’t put it down until the final page. I loved the character of Sarah Sorry. She is a teenage girl who wants to fit in with her peers. She finds this to be hard as she is experiencing changes to her body and her life. If that is not enough there is that talking beaver that is always hungry. What does the future hold for Sarah? Read this book to find out. Sarah is a character that I found myself caring about. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that are introduced and interact with Sarah. There are comical moments that had me laughing out loud and others that had me empathizing with what Sarah is feeling and going through. The author has written a story that is exciting and entertaining. The storyline and characters come to life and I found them easy to identify with. Don’t miss out on an amazing tale that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

that is until her whole universe turns upside down.
Anyone who says being a teenager is easy, lies. It’s even worse when seemingly uncontrollable abilities appear out of nowhere. Puberty is one thing, but what her body is doing—no one ever taught in health class.
That is the exact moment Sarah’s life changes forever, or perhaps it’s because of a talking beaver’s demands for waffles and maple syrup. Either way, things are never going to be the same again.
As a new heroine on the horizon, she is bound to make a plethora of mistakes and you can bet your bottom dollar she’ll be Super Sorry for each and every one of them.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.
