Every Exquisite ThingMatthew QuickPublisher: Little, Brown Books for Young ReadersMay 31 2016EAN: 9780316379595ISBN: 031637959XSynopsis: From the bestselling author of The Silver L inings Playbook comes a heartfelt and rebellious novel in the vein of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Nanette O'Hare is an unassuming teen who has played the role of dutiful daughter, hardworking student, and star athlete for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her his worn copy of The Bubblegum Reaper-- a mysterious, out-of-print cult classic-- the rebel within Nanette awakens. As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young but troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world with wild abandon, Nanette learns the hard way that rebellion sometimes comes at a high price. A celebration of the self and the formidable power of story, Every Exquisite Thing is Matthew Quick at his finest. Show more
