About this ebook

A New York Times Bestseller

What if the person you need the most is someone you’ve never met?
 
Funny and romantic, this tug-at-your-heartstrings contemporary YA debut is perfect for readers of Rainbow Rowell, Jennifer Niven, and E. Lockhart.

Everything about Jessie is wrong. At least, that’s what it feels like during her first week as a junior at her new ultra-intimidating prep school in Los Angeles. It’s been barely two years since her mother’s death, and because her father eloped with a woman he met online, Jessie has been forced to move across the country to live with her stepmonster and her pretentious teenage son.

Just when she’s thinking about hightailing it back to Chicago, she gets an email from a person calling themselves Somebody/Nobody (SN for short), offering to help her navigate the wilds of Wood Valley High School. Is it an elaborate hoax? Or can she rely on SN for some much-needed help?

In a leap of faith—or an act of complete desperation—Jessie begins to rely on SN, and SN quickly becomes her lifeline and closest ally. Jessie can’t help wanting to meet SN in person. But are some mysteries better left unsolved?

“Three Things about this novel: (1) I loved it. (2) No, really, I LOVED it. (3) I wish I could tell every teen to read it. Buxbaum’s book sounds, reads, breathes, worries, and soars like real adolescents do.” —Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Time and Off the Page

Ratings and reviews

EXCELLENT BOOK! I'm 50 years old but I remember feeling some of what Jesse felt like it was today and not 35 years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend to any age group.

Usually never rate books, but this one was really good!! You should 100% buy this book and read it. Julie Buxbaum is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors after reading this and What To Say Next.

Read this in about three days. Easy and fun read. I can very much relate to the main character. The only thing I didn't like was that for how smart she supposedly is, she doesn't piece clues together very well. Haha. Great book though.
