Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry

Sometimes you need to blow up your whole life to find the pieces that matter most. When type-A high school senior Quinn loses her journal—well, to say she freaks out is an understatement. Her whole life is in it, comprised of lists ranging from Movies with Intense Rewatchability to Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud. But then she gets a message from the blackmailer who tells her she has to complete one of her own lists before she’ll get her journal back—the one called “To Do Before I Graduate.” Thinking she has nothing left to lose, Quinn decides to go for it—and soon discovers that speaking your truth feels good, and maybe blowing up her life was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl

Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl

From the publisher: "Monique is a preacher’s daughter who detests the impossible rules of her religion. Everyone expects her to wait until marriage, so she has no one to turn to when she discovers that she physically can’t have sex. After two years of trying and failing, her boyfriend breaks up with her. To win him back, Monique teams up with straight-laced church girl Sasha—who is surprisingly knowledgeable about Monique’s condition—as well as Reggie, the misunderstood bad boy who always makes a ruckus at church, and together they embark upon a top-secret search for the cure. While on their quest, Monique discovers the value of a true friend and the wonders of a love that accepts her for who she is. Despite everyone’s opinions about her virtue, she learns to live for herself, inspiring us all to reclaim our bodies and unapologetically love ourselves."
