"Monique lives a perfect life - a preacher's daughter and the girlfriend of the town's golden boy. But it's not that simple. She's torn between her parents who want the pure virginal daughter, and her boyfriend, Dom, who wants to explore the more intimate side of their relationship. Tired of waiting, her boyfriend breaks up with her, spurring Monique to discover she has a medical condition that makes her far from perfect and she concocts a plan to fix her body and win him back. With the help of her frenemy, Sasha, the overly zealous church girl Monique's mum pushes her to hang out with, and Reggie, the town's not-so-good boy, Monique must go on trips to unknown and uncomfortable places to find the treatment that will help her. But in doing so, she must face some home truths: maybe she shouldn't be fixing her body to please a boy, maybe Sasha is the friend she needed all along and maybe Reggie isn't so bad at all"--Publisher's description

Stell dir vor, du vertauschst dein Notizbuch mit dem deines heimlichen Schwarms und plötzlich wirst du erpresst ... Ihrem Notizbuch vertraut Quinn (schwarz und ziemlich wohlhabend) alles an, von ihren geheimsten Gedanken über ihre unangenehmsten To-dos bis zu den peinlichsten Lügen. Als sie das Notizbuch eines Tages aus Versehen mit dem ihres Klassenkameraden Carter (ebenfalls schwarz, alles andere als wohlhabend und unfassbar attraktiv) vertauscht, kann dieser es beim vereinbarten Rückgabetreffen nicht mehr finden. Und dann bekommt Quinn plötzlich eine anonyme Nachricht: Wenn sie nicht will, dass ihre Geheimnisse öffentlich werden, muss sie ihre ultimative To-do-Liste abarbeiten. Unerwartet erklärt Carter sich bereit, ihr dabei zu helfen – und scheint es tatsächlich ernst zu meinen. Eine Haters-to-Lovers-Geschichte über brisante Geheimnisse und den Mut, zu sich selbst zu stehen Mitreißender Roman einer Own-Voice-Autorin, verankert im noch immer von Rassismus geprägten Alltag schwarzer Jugendlicher
