"Remarkable."--New York Times Book Review
From Annie Barrows, the acclaimed #1 New York Times-bestselling
coauthor of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and the
author of the award-winning and bestselling Ivy + Bean books, this teen
debut tells the story of Charlotte and Frankie, two high school students
and best friends who don't have magical powers, fight aliens, crash
their cars, get pierced, or discover they are royal. They just go to
school. And live at home. With their parents. A great read for fans of
Becky Albertalli, Louise Rennison, and Adi Alsaid.
Nothing ever happens to Charlotte and Frankie. Their lives are nothing
like the lives of the girls they read about in their YA novels. They
don't have flowing red hair, and hot romantic encounters never
happen--let alone meeting a true soul mate. They just go to high school
and live at home with their parents, who are pretty normal, all things
considered.
But when Charlotte decides to write down everything that happens during
their sophomore year--to prove that nothing happens and there is no plot
or character development in real life--she's surprised to find that
being fifteen isn't as boring as she thought. It's weird, heartbreaking,
silly, and complicated. And maybe, just perfect.
