The second novel about a preacher's daughter in small-town Texas and her journey toward loving herself and her body.

Monique is a preacher's daughter who detests the impossible rules of her religion. Everyone expects her to wait until marriage, so she has no one to turn to when she discovers that she physically can't have sex.

After two years of trying and failing, her boyfriend breaks up with her. To win him back, Monique teams up with straight-laced church girl Sasha--who is surprisingly knowledgeable about Monique's condition--as well as Reggie, the misunderstood bad boy who always makes a ruckus at church, and together they embark upon a top-secret search for the cure.

While on their quest, Monique discovers the value of a true friend and the wonders of a love that accepts her for who she is. Despite everyone's opinions about her virtue, she learns to live for herself.

Восемнадцатилетняя Куинн хранит свои секреты в обычном блокноте. Она заполняет его разными списками, например, "Почему нравится одноклассник Картер Беннетт" или "Ложь обо мне, в которую верят люди". Но однажды дневник исчезает, и вскоре Куинн получает анонимное сообщение с угрозой. Девушка должна выполнить все пункты из своего списка "Сделать до окончания школы", иначе ее секреты будут раскрыты. Куинн намерена вернуть блокнот любой ценой, и, кажется, Картер – единственный, кто может помочь. Но что, если парень, который нравится ей, и есть тайный недоброжелатель?

Quinn keeps lists of everything—from the days she’s ugly cried, to “Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud” and all the boys she’d 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 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.
