What do you do when you've 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 Turner's summer isn't going the way she'd
planned. She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her
best friend, Cooper. She hasn't been able to manage her mother's growing
issues with anxiety. And now she's been rejected from an art show
because her work "has no heart." So when she gets another opportunity to
show her paintings, Abby isn't 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 stranger's story (#5) to fall in love (#8). She knows
that if she can complete the list, she'll become the kind of artist
she's always dreamed of being.
But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the
list isn't as straightforward as it seems . . . and that maybe--just
maybe--she can't change her art if she isn't first willing to change
herself.
