Description
Sophia, who hates her life and thinks about suicide, is in New York City for the summer taking uninteresting college classes and bemoaning the lack of a boyfriend.
Quick Summary
Set against the neon lights and chaotic energy of New York City, this novel follows a sharp-tongued teen who spends her summer navigating boring college classes, laugh-out-loud dating disasters, and some seriously heavy feelings about life that feel terrifyingly real. Kids will love the protagonist's biting humor, her unfiltered inner voice that says exactly what they're thinking, and the surprising moments of genuine connection she finds in unlikely places throughout the city. If your kid likes books like "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" or "Eleanor & Park" that mix sharp humor with real emotional depth, they'll absolutely devour this one. Perfect for teens 14 and up who want a story that feels like a late-night conversation with their most honest, slightly cynical best friend.
