Our teen librarian highly recommends Excuse Me Whi

Our teen librarian highly recommends Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by @joya.goffney! Quinn keeps a journal of lists to organize and document her life (some of which are VERY personal). When the book goes missing, someone starts posting pictures of her lists on Instagram, and all her secrets are out! What can she do to get the book back and stop the blackmail? Great for fans of realistic, mystery and romance. Available in print and e-book. #whpl #whpltab #summerreading #summerreading2021 #yafiction #goodbook #overdrive
