Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by debut author Joya Goffney is a story of an overly enthusiastic list maker who is blackmailed into completing a to-do list of all her worst fears. Itâs a heartfelt, tortured, contemporary YA high school romance. Fans of Jenny Hanâs To All the Boys Iâve Loved Before and Kristina Forestâs I Wanna Be Where You Are will love the juicy secrets and leap-off-the-page sexual tension.
âA hilarious and swoonworthy story.â âKristina Forest, author of Now That Iâve Found You
âA fun, emotionally rich romance with a sweet, imperfect character who will win your heart.â âLiara Tamani, author of All the Things We Never Knew
Quinn keeps lists of everythingâfrom the days sheâs ugly cried, to âThings That I Would Never Admit Out Loudâ and all the boys sheâd like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears on paper, she never has to face them in real life. 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 doesnât know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennettâthe last known person to have her journalâin a race against time to track down the blackmailer.
Together, they journey through everything Quinnâs 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.
