Join Gwen Pendergrass on an unpredictable, laugh-out-loud journey that's "as amusing as it is engaging" (Booklife Prize). Perfect for teens and adults alike, this coming-of-age story will make you laugh, make you care, and take you on a wild ride you won't soon forget. WINNER: BEST YA NOVEL IN THE 2024 KINDLE BOOK AWARDS At sixteen, Gwen knows exactly one thing about her dad: he must have existed. Though her mom confirms this rather obvious conclusion, she refuses to add anything else about him. Annoying certainly, but honestly, Gwen is fine with it. Really, what would be the point of digging up a past that's never been part of her present? The universe, however, has other plans. When Gwen kind of, unexpectedly gets her mom a full-ride scholarship to Yale, it comes with one tiny, little hitch. Her mom plans to turn it down because of her "Parental Responsibilities." Translation: because of Gwen. Heartsick at being the one thing standing between her Mom and her dreams, Gwen is fiercely determined to make it work, one way or another. But try as she might, all she can come up with is one crazy, desperate solution: find her dad. Armed with nothing but determination, Gwen ropes her ever-loyal, best friend Peter into a whirlwind of white lies, unexpected allies, and laughably disastrous moments. As her quest grows more chaotic by the day, Gwen must navigate family secrets, her own wildly changing emotions, and the mounting pressure to succeed before everything unravels. Will Gwen get her mom her "happily ever after", or will her otherwise perfect plan spectacularly crash and burn, taking Gwen's friendship with Peter and her unexpected dreams of love along with it?
