Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Nina LaCour, this queer coming-of-age story from the author of The Falling in Love Montage is wry, multilayered, and unflinchingly honest.

Aideen has plenty of problems she can’t solve. But when she stumbles upon overachiever Meabh Kowalska having a full-blown meltdown, she sees one that she can actually fix. Meabh is desperate to escape her crushing pile of extracurriculars. Aideen volunteers to help - by pushing her down the stairs.

Problem? Solved. Meabh’s sprained ankle is the perfect excuse to ditch her overwhelming schedule. But when one of their classmates learns about their little scheme, more “clients” start asking for Aideen’s “help” - kicking off a semester of traded favors, ill-advised hijinks, and even an unexpected chance at love.

Fixing other people’s problems won’t fix her own. But it might be the push Aideen needs to start.

It was a really awesome book! Again I’d do disclaimers in the beginning but other than that I loved it. It wasn’t just about YA romance. It had friendships, family issues, comedic relief and a lot heart. Seriously grab this book.

Auden is barely making it in high school what with eight classes and taking care of her mom. Meabh is the principal’s daughter and has a meltdown from her extracurricular activities. Meabh begs for help so Aideen pushes her down the stairs to sprain her ankle. The rest is chaos. Funny and heartwarming.

This is a wonderful book, written and narrated perfectly. Listen to the well crafted first chapter: in the banal setting of morning registration, Ciara Smyth uses the interactions (and the inimitable thoughts of Aideen) to incisively introduce most of her cast of characters (Miss Devlin: "That's right. You can sit next to your adorable crush smelling like unwashed armpits!") And the snark and sass in the lilt of Sarah Jane Drummey's narrations are spot on. Enjoy this book, it only gets better from there.
