About this ebook

Praised by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Myracle as “hilarious, moving and flat-out fun,” and Kirkus as a “pitch-perfect rendering…of the teen experience,” Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) has captured the hearts of critics and readers alike.

Fans of Sarah Dessen, E. Lockhart, and Maureen Johnson will love this hilarious and heartwarming tale of a girl on her own for the first time.

If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn’t jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe “opportunity” isn’t the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: “Lied to Our Parents”). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up “Skipping School” (#3), “Buying a Hot Tub” (#4), and, um, “Harboring a Fugitive” (#7) is a mystery to them.

To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn’t-have-done at a time.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not much of a reader, but I kept my interest and I kept reading! I finished the book in two days. I never wanted to put it down! I recommend this book for kids in high school.

I am a teen myself and i really liked this book. Although it was a little far fetched that the parents were so clueless, i like it alot. I really recommend it! Ps ; are there any more books like this cause i want to read them!

This book is addicting to read and never seems to get boring I deffinetly suggest it for anyone between the ages of 14 and 19. For 3 dollars this is amazing!!!!!
