by Megan Frazer Blakemore
- I really love the circus and used to take flying trapeze lessons.
- One of my favorite summer snacks is frozen corn kernels.
- I earned a varsity letter for being on the math team in high school.
- I once won a free dessert at a restaurant for balancing a spoon on my nose and singing a song.
- I can read and understand spoken French, but get nervous about speaking it because my accent is not very good.
- I cry really easily, but more when people are being kind or honorable or generous than at sad situations.
- If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be pizza.
- I like to read the obituaries of women who lived long lives.
- In high school I wore the same outfit on the first day and last day of each school year.
- As an author, I get a chance to meet other authors, which is awesome, but I often find myself star-struck and babbling.

Blurb:
Very Sales-Woodruff is done being a good girl. Done being the only responsible one in a family that’s unraveling. Done being the obliging girlfriend in a relationship that’s sinking. Done saying no to what she wants—like Dominic, her rebellious classmate.
With her mom’s drinking, her dad’s extended absences from home, and her younger sister, Ramona, running wild, the path Very has always seen for herself doesn’t seem to matter anymore. At the same time, Very’s grandmother, a poet known less for her work and more for her exploits with the likes of Andy Warhol and Arthur Miller, is slipping away.
If everything else can fall to pieces, why can’t she?
