2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house – parents = 10 things April and
her friends did that they (definitely, maybe,
probably) shouldn't have.
If given the
opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the
chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free?
Although maybe "opportunity" isn't the right word, since
April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it
happen (see #1: "Lied to Our Parents"). But she and her
housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care
of themselves. How they ended up "Skipping School" (#3),
"Throwing a Crazy Party" (#8), "Buying a Hot Tub" (#4), and,
um, "Harboring a Fugitive" (#7) at all is kind of a mystery
to them.
In this hilarious and bittersweet tale,
Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her
own for the first time. To get through the year, April will
have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry,
and accept that her carefully constructed world just might
be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at
a time.
