What do you do when youâve fallen for your best friend? Funny and romantic, this effervescent story about family, friendship, and finding yourself is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han.
Seventeen-year-old Abby Turnerâs summer isnât going the way sheâd planned. She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her best friend, Cooper. She hasnât been able to manage her motherâs growing issues with anxiety. And now sheâs been rejected from an art show because her work âhas no heart.â So when she gets another opportunity to show her paintings, Abby isnât going to take any chances.
Which is where the list comes in.
Abby gives herself one month to do ten things, ranging from face a fear (#3) to learn a strangerâs story (#5) to fall in love (#8). She knows that if she can complete the list, sheâll become the kind of artist sheâs always dreamed of being.
But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the list isnât as straightforward as it seems . . . and that maybeâjust maybeâshe canât change her art if she isnât first willing to change herself.
