Sixteen-year-old Milani feels like no one in the world could possibly understand her. Between the daily high school drama, her growing crush on the effortlessly charming Louis, and the constant math problems she can never seem to solve, life seems more overwhelming than ever. Adding to her frustrations is Jacob, the annoyingly perfect neighbor who somehow always gets top marks in math and never lets her forget it.
As the school dance approaches, Milani and her friends prepare for their mall trip, where she hopes to find the perfect dress to make her night-and maybe even catch Louis's eye. But with the weight of school, friendships, and her crush building up, Milani's starting to wonder if anyone else feels as lost as she does.
In this heartfelt and relatable journey, Milani navigates the rollercoaster of teen life, struggling to figure out who she is and if things will ever just...click into place.

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
