\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rachel is brilliant, dependable, and boring-on-purpose. Saying no to everything but her grades in high school kept the Michigan teen at the top of her class, working at her family’s Italian restaurant, and totally safe from heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorting stuff instead of going to a graduation party, Rachel finds an old advice book and decides to “say yes” to opportunities this summer before college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – to finally attending a party and even jumping in the pool! Oops, social media caught that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – to reconnecting with Carrie who left Rachel and Ruoxi for the popular crowd<\/a> when the trio hit ninth grade. Oops, who left out who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – to a road trip with her long-time crush, soccer star Clayton! Oops, forgot to let folks know she’d be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – to going out with her buddy-since-birth Miles! Oops, how is her snarky gelato<\/a> cart co-worker suddenly so charming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel’s mom and stepdad aren’t sure about her new persona, her grandmother tries to advise her, and other people’s secrets start blurring the lines between okay and oh no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stamp in her passport, first kisses, first time to disappoint everyone at once?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find this May 2020 release at your local library<\/a> (ebooks available 24\/7) or favorite independent bookstore<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the best Yes decision you ever made?
