About This Book
The sharp scent of cheese mingles with the buzz of school chatter as Tia juggles her to-do list: a haircut, French homework, and a call to Andy. Each task pulls her in a different direction, but there’s a bigger question whispering beneath it all — what will she do with the rest of her life? The answers feel as tangled as her thoughts, and the clock keeps ticking.
