From the author of Finding Jupiter comes a powerful new novel about self-discovery, healing, and first love.
A YA coming-of age about an intense high school year where one girl stops pretending everything is always fine
Skye has survived a lot ā but a humiliating, very-public prom disaster plastered across social media might just be her breaking point. When she's assigned a class project on Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, what begins as homework becomes a mirror, a lifeline, and the start of a journey into self-discovery and young love.
Okay Girl is the story of what happens when a young woman finally stops pretending she's fine. With a love triangle, a cast of refreshingly real teens, and an unflinching look at the gap between well-meaning parents and their children's inner lives, this novel is funny and heartbreaking, painful and hopeful. The back of the book features an afterword about mental health support and resources from child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Nakia Scott.
