Welcome to Litsy!

Refreshingly authentic and bold� Don�t miss this smashing #ownvoices debut from Francina Simone! Filled with heart, humor and a heroine to root for, Smash It! is a perfect read for fans of Julie Murphy, Ibi Zoboi and Ashley Poston. Olivia �Liv� James is done with letting her insecurities get the best of her. So she does what any self-respecting hot mess of a girl who wants to SMASH junior year does� After Liv shows up to a Halloween party in khaki shorts�why, God, why?�she decides to set aside her wack AF ways. She makes a list�a F*ck-It list. 1. Be bold�do the thing that scares me. 2. Learn to take a compliment. 3. Stand out instead of back. She kicks it off by trying out for the school musical, saying yes to a date and making new friends. Life is great when you stop punking yourself! However, with change comes a lot of missteps, and being bold means following her heart. So what happens when Liv�s heart is interested in three different guys�and two of them are her best friends? What is she supposed to do when she gets dumped by a guy she�s not even dating? How does one Smash It! after the humiliation of being friend-zoned? In Liv�s own words, �F*ck it. What�s the worst that can happen?� A lot, apparently. #SMASHIT
