Deciding to throw herself an epic coming out party with singing, dancing and rainbow cake, 16-year-old Mahalia Harris finds herself buried in a mountain of bills, unfinished schoolwork and enough drama that could end her party before it even begins. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
It's too late for a Sweet Sixteen, but what if Mahalia had a coming-out party? A love letter to romantic comedies, sweet sixteen blowouts, Black joy, and queer pride.
âA perfect ode to romantic comedies, wrapped in a dazzling rainbow dress.â âRachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl
Mahalia Harris wants.
She wants a big Sweet Sixteen like her best friend, Naomi.
She wants the super-cute new girl Siobhan to like her back.
She wants a break from worryingâabout money, snide remarks from white classmates, pitying looks from church ladies . . . all of it.
Then inspiration strikes: Itâs too late for a Sweet Sixteen, but what if she had a coming-out party? A singing, dancing, rainbow-cake-eating celebration of queerness on her own terms.
The idea lights a fire beneath her, and soon Mahalia is scrimping and saving, taking on extra hours at her afterschool job, trying on dresses, and awkwardly flirting with Siobhan, all in preparation for the coming out of her dreams. But itâs not long before sheâs buried in a mountain of bills, unfinished schoolwork, and enough drama to make her English lit teacher blush. With all the responsibility on her shoulders, will Mahaliaâs party be over before itâs even begun?
A novel about finding yourself, falling in love, and celebrating what makes you you.
âMahaliaâs story lives, breathes and glows. Iâm in love with it every day of the week!â âBecky Albertalli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homosapiens Agenda
