Dear universe

a wildly witty yet deeply profound chronicle of teenage anxiety and yearning, perfect for fans of jesse andrews and robyn schneider -- in paperback. it's senior year, and chamomile myles has whiplash from traveling between her two universes: school (the relentless countdown to prom, torturous college applications, and the mindless march toward an uncertain future) and home, where she wrestles a slow, bitter battle with her father's terminal illness. enter brendan, a man-bun-and tutu-wearing hospital volunteer with a penchant for absurdity, who strides boldly between her worlds--and helps her open up a new road between them. dear universe is the dazzling follow-up to florence gonsalves's debut, love and other carnivorous plants, hailed by school library journal as "a must-have sharp, powerful, and witty immersion into the complexities of . . . mental health."
