The hotly anticipated second book from Joya Goffney author of the 2021 YA romcom Excuse Me
While I Ugly Cry. Monique lives a perfect life - a preacher's daughter and the girlfriend of
the town's golden boy. But it's not that simple. She's torn between her parents who want the
pure virginal daughter and her boyfriend Dom who wants to explore the more intimate side of
their relationship. Tired of waiting her boyfriend breaks up with her spurring Monique to
discover she has a medical condition that makes her far from perfect and she concocts a plan to
fix her body and win him back. With the help of her frenemy Sasha the overly zealous church
girl Monique's mum pushes her to hang out with and Reggie the town's not-so-good boy Monique
must go on trips to unknown and uncomfortable places to find the treatment that will help her.
But in doing so she must face some home truths: maybe she shouldn't be fixing her body to
please a boy maybe Sasha is the friend she needed all along and maybe Reggie isn't so bad at
all. This is a powerful journey towards loving yourself about body and sex positivity with
heart humour family intrigue and a dynamic and delicious love triangle.
