A passionate, hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom debut full of juicy secrets and leap-off-the-page chemistry about how we choose to live our lives and what it means to live your truth. For fans of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Sun is Also a Star.

Quinn keeps lists of everything – from the days she’s ugly cried, to ""Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud,"" to all the boys she’d like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears (as well as embarrassing and cringeworthy truths) on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing . . .

An anonymous account posts one of her lists on Instagram for the whole school to see and blackmails her into facing seven of her greatest fears, or else her entire journal will go public. Quinn doesn’t know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennett – the last known person to have her journal and who Quinn loathes – in a race against time to track down the blackmailer.

Together, they journey through everything Quinn’s been too afraid to face, and along the way, Quinn finds the courage to be honest, to live in the moment, and to fall in love.

A razor-sharp, passionate and addictive YA romcom that readers will love.

This book was amazing, the enemies to lovers back to enemies when Quinn was betrayed by Carter to lovers. it was amazing with how light was shinned on betrayl and lying and rascism and that not everything goes to plan. its also important to not lie and just be happy and live life to your fullest.

I loved Quinn. She was so relatable to me. And the storytelling in the book is remarkable. I could read it again just to feel the emotions I felt while reading all over.
