Perfect for fans of you ought to See Me during a Crown and to all or any the Boys I’ve Loved Before, this hilarious and heartfelt Own Voices rom-com from bestselling author Debbie Rigaud is pure Black girl joy.
Simone Thibodeaux is close to switch things up.
Check her life: It’s sealed during a boy-proof container. Her Haitian immigrant parents send Simone to an all-girls highschool and enforce strict no-dating rules. As for prom? Simone is allowed to travel on one condition: Her parents will select her date (a boy from a pleasant , Haitian immigrant family, obviously).
Simone is wanting to avoid the setup — especially since she features a serious crush on another boy. It’s time to require action. Simone and her fellow late-bloomer friends make a senior year bucket list of all the wild things they haven’t done yet. Like: going out dancing, skipping class (what), and oh yeah — deciding their own prom destinies.
But because the list takes on a lifetime of its own, things get much messier than Simone expected. Can she find out which rules are worth breaking and which could save her from heartbreak?
