YA
The titular protagonist from Piper Perish is finally in NYC to work as an assistant to a big name in the art business before attending her dream art school. Now, to earn tuition money, she must deal with creating art for someone else instead of for herself. There's less emotional urgency in this sequel's similar journal-style narration, but Piper remains spunky and admirably ready to make it on her own.

Houston teen Piper did not expect the second half of senior year to include serious boy troubles (her boyfriend comes out as gay), her emotionally explosive sister's pregnancy, and unforeseen complications to attending her dream art school in NYC. Thankfully, Piper's art keeps her going. Cagan writes Piper's journal-like narrative with an honest yet insightful teenage viewpoint of a realistically complicated life.
