WINNER OF THE 2024 KINDLE BOOK AWARD BEST YA NOVEL Gwen Pendergrass has a problem. Well, a whole bunch if you really want to start counting, but then again, what sixteen-year-old doesn't? Her latest is an assignment for her high school English class to write a paper on her earliest memory of doing something with her father, only she's got zip. Nada. Absolutely no memories of him at all. She strongly suspects this is due to having never actually met the man. In fact, the only presence he's ever had in her life is as a face in a small strip of photobooth photos taken some-where in Las Vegas during "The Weekend She Was Made" (ew....!) In these photos, both he and her mom look really happy, and kind of drunk, which Gwen figures explains a lot. Or, if not a lot, at least her birth nine months later Aside from showing her the photo strip, Gwen's Mom has flat out refused to tell Gwen anything about him, not even his name, leaving Gwen with an enduring mystery that she's worried like a loose tooth. Though without the shiny dollar coin that the tooth would bring at the end. All this changes when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to alter the course of their lives falls into Gwen's mom's lap. But nothing is ever simple with Gwen, and she has to rope her best friend Peter into a wild, Hail Mary of a plan to find her long-lost dad to ensure that nothing stands in the way of her mom reclaiming her future. And while Gwen receives unexpected help from unlikely allies, before she knows it, her white lies, scheming, and emotional roller-coaster are making a mess of everything, and it quickly becomes a race to find her dad before her mom catches on, her head explodes, or it all completely spirals out of control.
