DestDest | Nov 26, 2023 |   oh also the whole plot with her grandma made me tear up and i could understand how she felt with everything, so it was a bit hard to read at times, but i appreciate it alot. (  ) chardenlover | Jun 10, 2023 | Austin, TX, Contemporary (p.2021) 1 Main Character Prone to "Ostriching" 1 Notebook Full of Secrets 1 To-Do List Before Graduation Blackmail 3 Awesome New Friends Important Conversations about Identity & Race 7 Tasks 2 College Visits 1 Trip to a Childhood Happy Place 1 Excellent Grandmother The Short Version I didn't think I'd like this in the early chapters. Quinn was a privileged, self-centred, judgmental mess who made very bad decisions. The enmity with Carter was rough - to the point where I didn't know if their relationship could be turned around. But I persevered and as Quinn started being honest with herself and the reader and tried to deal with her messes, I became a ton more invested. The romantic stuff with Carter is fun and bantery, but I particularly loved her relationship with Livvy (as there is more to this book than just romance). And her inspiration from her grandmother Hattie is wonderful as well. There are a lot of stressful things that Quinn was trying to bury rather than cope with, but as she comes out of her shell - thanks in part to the blackmailer threatening to reveal her secrets to the whole school - she grows up a lot. Plus we got to see a great scene when she does go to her parents for help and her lawyer Mom is a real badass. I'd happily read more of Goffney's YA stories. ( ) Caramellunacy | Nov 24, 2022 | the last thing on the to do list was lame and anticlimactic. also, people in books need to stop going back to their friends after they break up for valid reasons. maybe i just dont like my friends as much as i think i do, but if any of them did anything half as bad as the things people do in these types of books i wouldnt think twice about dropping them. anyway, good book. is there a sequel? i hope so. if not, there should be.

HTML: Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by debut author Joya Goffney is a story of an overly enthusiastic list maker who is blackmailed into completing a to-do list of all her worst fears. It's a heartfelt, tortured, contemporary YA high school romance. Fans of Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Kristina Forest's I Wanna Be Where You Are will love the juicy secrets and leap-off-the-page sexual tension. "A hilarious and swoonworthy story." â??Kristina Forest, author of Now That I've Found You "A fun, emotionally rich romance with a sweet, imperfect character who will win your heart." â??Liara Tamani, author of All the Things We Never Knew Quinn keeps lists of everythingâ??from the days she's ugly cried, to "Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud" and all the boys she'd like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing . . . Then an anonymous account posts one of her lists on Instagram for the whole school to see and blackmails her into facing seven of her greatest fears, or else her entire journal will go public. Quinn doesn't know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennettâ??the last known person to have her journalâ??in a race against time to track down the blackmailer. Together, they journey through everything Quinn's been too afraid to face, and along the way, Quinn finds the courage to be honest, to live in the moment, and to fall in love.

This story touches on self-imposing limitations on yourself, making unhealthy coping methods, experiences with questioning of Blackness (being the stereotype, defying the stereotype, just being yourself), and acknowledging assumptions are the lowest form of knowledge.
I also love the romance in here isn’t predictable and the importance of boundaries. I don’t know how I feel about
Ending spoiler:
I’m excited to read more from this author. (
