2 girls + 3 guys + 1 house - parents = 10 things April and her friends did that they (definitely, maybe, probably) shouldn't have.If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free? Although maybe and "opportunity and " isn't the right word, since April had to tell her dad a tiny little untruth to make it happen (see #1: and "Lied to Our Parents and "). But she and her housemate Vi are totally responsible and able to take care of themselves. How they ended up and "Skipping School and " (#3), and "Throwing a Crazy Party and " (#8), and "Buying a Hot Tub and " (#4), and, um, and "Harboring a Fugitive and " (#7) at all is kind of a mystery to them.In this hilarious and bittersweet tale, Sarah Mlynowski mines the heart and mind of a girl on her own for the first time. To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.
