      Quirky, creative, and tender, this honest, beautiful anthology of stories and poetry by an acclaimed young adult writer is about growing up and leaving home, about feeling wobbly and learning how to be wonderful, about friendships and freedom and flaws. It deals with love, death, coffee, bad-hair days, and everything in-between. For girls who are 13 and lonely, or women who are 30 and sinking, these stories—about the adult lives that teenagers long for or fear and the teenage years that women remember with regret or relief—will resonate. With its charming scrapbook illustrated design and its variety of moods, this book will make readers laugh, cry, dance, and sing.
