40 Things I Want to Tell You (2012)
A sharp, contemporary coming-of-age story about advice, consequence, and the cost of trying to hold everything together.
Bird is the girl who has everything under control — until the one night she doesn’t. As her carefully ordered life unravels, she’s forced to confront who she really is and who she wants to become. A smart, emotionally honest novel about friendship, first love, mistakes, and starting again.
