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.
