Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney --> Starting December 13th, 2020

[Aly]

Quinn keeps lists of everything—from the days she’s ugly cried, to “Things That I Would Never Admit Out Loud,” to all the boys she’d like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing…

An anonymous account posts one of her lists on Instagram for the whole school to see and blackmails her into facing seven of her greatest fears, or else her entire journal will go public. Quinn doesn’t know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennett—the last known person to have her journal—in a race against time to track down the blackmailer.

Together, they journey through everything Quinn’s been too afraid to face, and along the way, Quinn finds the courage to be honest, to live in the moment, and to fall in love.

25% - (view spoiler)[I never kept a journal because I didn't want someone to read it lol so having someone blackmailing you with all your secrets is kinda terrifying. (hide spoiler)]
around 55% (i'm not sure) - (view spoiler)[I am shipping her with Carter. The flirtation is cute (unlike the throwing up lol) (hide spoiler)]
75% - (view spoiler)[He read everything :( Those girls are bitches (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[This was pretty cute overall. I liked that he apologized and tried to make lists like she did (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I'm starting this today!

[Aly]

25% (view spoiler)[ It sucks that someone has Quinn's private journal and posted that she lied about Columbia, but at the same time, how did she think she would get away with that?
Also, her dad accusing Carter like that was shitty (hide spoiler)]

@25% (view spoiler)[ No kidding! I would be paranoid to have my secrets in a book like that (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I'm glad she's starting to like Carter, I don't think he'd hurt her. And Olivia is pretty cool too. I wonder if it is Matt blackmailing her? (hide spoiler)]

@75% (view spoiler)[ Yeah it sucks that he lied and read all her private thoughts. Those girls are awful and I hope Quinn uses the recording so they get in trouble (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

75% (view spoiler)[ It sucks it was her friend who took her journal. And that she and Gina are so racist. I'm glad she has Livvy by her side. And I hope she can forgive Carter (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Gia had some actual consequences and Destiny apologized.
And things worked out with Carter, he's so sweet (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ 25%, LOL I had one when I was really little and wrote 'songs' in it. Found it a couple years ago, and just died. They were horrible.
