57 parts Complete Annie has a list for everything. At two notebooks a year since kindergarten, she has thousands of lists stored in her perfectly aligned closet. There's List #27: How to Go Unnoticed in Class. And List # 93: What I Want in a Boyfriend. But let's not get ahead of the story. This is the story of List #92: The Summer of Katie and A.
Annie's life is a hot mess, and not in a sexy magazine cover kind of way. It's a no boyfriend, seriously legit OCD, mother has cancer kind of mess. Annie wants the happily ever after, while her best friend, Katie, just wants to shrug off her virginity ASAP-something Annie just can't even.
When unexpected tragedy occurs, it's worse than anything she ever imagined. The Summer of Katie and A becomes the Seven Terrible Things I Wish Had Happened Instead. This is a story of family, friendship, personal quirks, first love, tragic loss, and resolve.
