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 Bennett--the last known person to have her journal--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.A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard SelectionEpic Reads Recommended Pick at TargetA Kirkus Children's Best Book of 2021

Joya Goffney grew up in New Waverly, a small town in East Texas. In high school, she challenged herself with to-do lists filled with risky things like "hug a random guy" and "eat a cricket", which inspired her first novel, "Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry". Passionate about African American social psychology, she moved from the countryside to attend the University of Texas at Austin and has since settled in Houston.
