Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth--Starting April 24th, 2022

[Dr. Andy]

Aideen has plenty of problems she can’t fix. Her best (and only) friend is pulling away. Her mother’s drinking problem is a constant concern. She’s even running out of outlandish diseases to fake so she can skip PE.

But when Aideen stumbles on her nemesis, overachiever Meabh Kowalski, in the midst of a full-blown meltdown, she sees a problem that—unlike her own disaster of a life—seems refreshingly easy to solve. Meabh is desperate to escape her crushing pile of extracurriculars. Aideen volunteers to help. By pushing Meabh down the stairs.

Problem? Solved. Meabh’s sprained ankle is the perfect excuse to ditch her overwhelming schedule. But when another student learns about their little scheme and brings Aideen another “client” who needs her “help,” it kicks off a semester of traded favors, ill-advised hijinks, and an unexpected chance at love. Fixing other people’s problems won’t fix her own, but it might be the push she needs to start.

ch 7 (view spoiler)[I’m really enjoying this! Aideen is gonna get into so much mischief I am ready for it. I hope we get more of Meabh, I really like her. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 14 (view spoiler)[I’m starting to get the feeling that Holly isn’t really that great of a friend 🌚. I do really like what Adeen has done for Orla and Meabh. I hope she becomes friends with Orla. She’s definitely friends with Meabh and I feel like Kofi is trying to become their friend too. He’s such a cinnamon roll 😂 (hide spoiler)]

ch 23 (view spoiler)[ Oh my god!!! Daniel's favor has been so funny and wild. I love how Meabh got Aideen out of his house. I can't with this group of friends!! Also that almost kiss ruined me. (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Wow I loved this with my whole heart! I'm so proud of Aideen for finally letting her friends in. Not fake ass Holly, she can leave. I don't know if I'm happy with Holly winning, but it felt realistic. Maybe it will be good for Meabh. Also Meabh and Aideen!! I love them so much. And then Aideen finally asking for help! I am so proud (hide spoiler)]

75% - (view spoiler)[Daniel's part was funny. I like him. (hide spoiler)]
100% - (view spoiler)[Aideen finally asked for help and I loved how it ended. It showed the evolution in her character. I'm glad Meabh said no to Holly as well! (hide spoiler)]
