About this deal
If you enjoyed Happily Ever Afters and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, there’s a high chance you might like this one too. Overall, this book was extremely fun to binge and if I had thought of being swallowed by blankets and with a cup of tea beforehand, it would've been the perfect setting to read this in and experience the sweet nothings of the romance and friendship included within it. Harlow Shaw feels naïve for believing in happily ever afters but she craves a love that lights her up.

I’ve always been curious about this book mostly for the title 😅 but I’m glad to see you enjoyed so many aspects. i emphasized and related with quinn so much in terms struggling with coming out of her shell and figuring herself out. The blackmailer demands Quinn complete the to-do list "Things to Do Before I Graduate," the list of her greatest fears.The pacing was quick and kept me amused and squealing at 2 am, whilst inadvertently forgetting my parents snores in the other room. Joya Goffney’s debut addresses issues such as racism and bullying with a thoughtful and gentle hand. 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. Seriously, how could you not see a scenario where your notebook would get stolen and thrust into the world's womb without knowing?

I hadn’t thought of it in decades until reading this book and I no longer have them, but reading this brought back the memories and made me laugh.One thing that I liked was her strength and compassion, obviously hated the latter in most instances, but I could see the potential.

This book also explores other issues like racism, racial profiling, parental pressures and expectations, and self-confidence.It grows and grows, like a plant that you water every day, like a scar that heals from patience, like the time you take to make sure you feel okay. You know that feeling you get when something amazing is happening like if you try to keep it up for one more second you might spontaneously combust and destroy everything? I loved seeing genuine female friendships and people being forced to apologise for their wrongdoings, moving forward in a positive and healthy way. The Garcias live in fear until the day both parents are picked up; his Pa is taken to jail and his Ma to a detention center. Publicly humiliated, Marisa Banks is blindsided by the news that the man she’s been dating for months is married.

It is clear (and there has been quite a few discussions about this) that a lot of YA books with Black protagonists In this story, we’re getting a slow-burning romance and I really loved how it grew, slowly but surely as Quinn realized her feelings changing, turning into something more. Anyway, this is a book about conquering your fears and it shows you that you can be a warrior like Quinn and deal with everything that's bugging you, one step at a time.As a lover of YA contemporary rom-coms, I couldn’t pass up on this lovely story about a list-maker getting her journal stolen… and then blackmailed about its contents. They both have baggage and they both have walls built up due to assumptions they've made about each other; however, with time things change. Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by debut author Joya Goffney is the story of an overly enthusiastic list maker who is blackmailed into completing a to-do list of all her worst fears.
