Thanks for Listening

Perfect for fans of Loveless and You Should See Me in a Crown, this wry and insightful novel from the author of Epically Earnest features a swoony ace romance and a secret social media advice account that goes wonderfully, terribly astray. Mia knows what she’s talking about. Class schedules, significant others, existential life crises—you name it, she’s talked someone through it. The problem? No one actually takes her advice. So when her latest round of (very sensible!) guidance is ignored, resulting in a class flyer stapled to her best friend’s arm and her brother dating a girl he doesn’t have feelings for, Mia is done talking. Instead, she creates HereToHelp, an anonymous account to give advice. If her friends don’t know it’s her behind the account, maybe they’ll finally listen for once. Throw in the girl of her dreams, a plethora of sound (and not-so-sound) advice, and a couple of best friends who seem to have a lot more to hide than Mia knows…and Mia could use some advice of her own to make it through this senior year. Hilarious and deeply insightful in turn, Thanks for Listening is a must-read for fans of Not My Problem and Eliza and Her Monsters—and any reader who has wanted to feel fully, truly, completely heard. Come for the secret identity, stay for the drama: Secret Identity: As the anonymous voice behind the viral ‘HeretoHelp’ account, Mia is finally being heard. The problem? Her advice is working a little too well, and her life is getting complicated. Witty Banter: A sharp, hilarious story filled with clever dialogue, backstage antics, and characters who feel completely real. Found Family: The drama club is Mia’s whole world. But when her two best friends start hiding things, she’ll have to decide if some relationships are worth saving. Stage Manager Protagonist: Mia’s used to running the show from the wings. When she starts falling for a brilliant pianist and her friendships start to fray, she’ll have to learn how to be the main character in her own life.
