From Matthew Quick, bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook, comes Every Exquisite Thing, a quirky and deeply moving novel about a teen's journey through love, rebellion, and belonging. For readers who love John Green and Rainbow Rowell. "Books like Quick's are necessary," says The New York Times.

Nanette O'Hare is an unassuming teen who has played the role of dutiful daughter, hard-working student, and star athlete for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her his worn copy of The Bubblegum Reaper - the mysterious, out-of-print cult classic - the rebel within Nanette awakens. As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young but troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world with wild abandon, Nanette learns the hard way that sometimes rebellion comes at a high price. A celebration of the self and the formidable power of story.
