Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have)

by Sarah Mlynowski

Description

When sixteen-year-old April and her best friend Vi are left to fend for themselves in Westport, Connecticut, for an entire semester, they discover that the rules their parents set are there for a reason. What begins as an exciting opportunity to live independently quickly spirals into a series of increasingly questionable decisions—a list of "things we shouldn't do" that becomes a chronicle of "things we did." As the two friends navigate the freedom and consequences of their parent-free existence, they learn hard lessons about responsibility, friendship, and growing up. Sarah Mlynowski captures the messy reality of teenage independence with humor and heart, exploring how the choices we make in pursuit of freedom can reshape who we are. This coming-of-age story is a witty, relatable reminder that sometimes the best lessons come from the mistakes we make along the way.
