Perfect for fans of John Green’s Turtles All the Way Down and Nina LaCour’s We Are Okay, this is the poignant and uplifting story of Maeve, who is dealing with anxiety while falling in love with a girl who is not afraid of anything.Think positive.Don\u2019t worry; be happy.Keep calm and carry on.Maeve has heard it all before. She\u2019s been struggling with severe anxiety for a long time, and as much as she wishes it was something she could just talk herself out of, it\u2019s not. She constantly imagines the worst, composes obituaries in her head, and is always ready for things to fall apart. To add to her troubles, her mom\u2014the only one who really gets what Maeve goes through\u2014is leaving for six months, so Maeve will be sent to live with her dad in Vancouver.Vancouver brings a slew of new worries, but Maeve finds brief moments of calm (as well as even more worries) with Salix, a local girl who doesn\u2019t seem to worry about anything. Between her dad\u2019s wavering sobriety, her very pregnant stepmom insisting on a home birth, and her bumbling courtship with Salix, this summer brings more catastrophes than even Maeve could have foreseen. Will she be able to navigate through all the chaos to be there for the people she loves?An ALA Rainbow Book List selectionA Bank Street Best Book of the Year’With Maeve, Mac delivers a character who’s heartwarmingly real and sympathetic, and her story provides a much needed mirror for anxious queer girls everywhere.’\u2014Kirkus, Starred review’This is a good companion book for other anxiety-riddled stories, such as The Shattering by Karen Healey, and Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella.’\u2014Booklist’This hopeful offering will resonate with young people for their own lives, even if the journey is hard and takes time and patience…[a] compelling portrait of a teen\u2019s experiences with anxiety and challenging family dynamics.’–SLJ’Mac carefully makes clear that Maeve is plenty able to find joy other places than the perfect girl and that she\u2019s working at dealing with her own problems; the romance is therefore lovely and cozy and free from overtones of dependency. The descriptions of anxiety are true and powerful, and romance buffs will likely revel in a book celebrating deep connection.’\u2014The Bulletin’Mac is good at showing how a dread-filled mind works… [An] affecting story.”\u2014Publishers Weekly<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
