Perfect for fans of LovelessandYou Should See Me in a Crown,this wry and insightful novel from the author ofEpically Earnestfeatures a sweet ace romance and a secret social media advice account that goes wonderfully, terribly astray.
Mia knows what shes talking about.
Class schedules, significant others, existential life crisesyou name it, shes talked someone through it.
The problem? No one actuallytakesher advice.
So when her latest round of (very sensible!) guidance is ignored, resulting in a class flyer stapled to her best friends arm and her brother going steady with a girl he doesnt have feelings for, Mia is done talking. Instead, she creates HereToHelp, an anonymous account to give advice. If her friends dont know its her behind the account, maybe theyllfinallylisten for once.
Throw in the girl of her dreams, a plethora of sound (and not-so-sound) advice, and a couple of best friends who seem to have a lot more to hide than Mia knowsand Mia could use some advice of her own to make it through this senior year.
Hilarious and deeply insightful in turn,Thanks for Listeningis a must-read for fans ofNot My ProblemandEliza and Her Monstersand any reader who has wanted to feel fully, truly, completely heard.
Praise for Thanks for Listening:
“Horan neatly subverts tired genre tropes, forgoing manufactured drama for a strongly developed character-driven narrative. Sadie and Mias romance moves beyond the question of whether a relationship between asexual and allosexual partners can work, investigating the how of it with humor and heart. Mias strong, likable voice propels the story, and readers will come to care about the cast around her as much as she does…. Take our advicethis one is a joy from start to finish.” –Kirkus Reviews(starred review)
