Saine Sinclair knows a little something about what makes a story worth telling. Your childhood best friend refuses to kiss you during a pre-adolescent game of spin the bottle Terrible, zero stars, would not replay that scene again. The same ex-friend becomes your new best friend' s ex Strangely compelling, unexpected twist, worth a hate-watch. That same guy-why is he always around-turns out to be your last shot at getting into the documentary filmmaking program of your dreams Saine hates to admit it, but she' d watch that movie. There' s something about Holden that makes her feel like she' s the one in front of the camera-like he can see every uncomfortable truth she' s buried below the surface. Saine knows how her story' s supposed to go. So why does every moment with Holden seem intent on changing the ending

With a great cast of characters, Kelsey Rodkey has crafted a story that is heartfelt, fun, and dizzyingly romantic, perfectly blending moments that will bring you to tears and double over with laughter. " - Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart"It' s rare that a YA novel so effortlessly transports me back to high school, and A Disaster in Three Acts did it instantly. A perfect balance of humor and heartbreak, filled with crackling romantic tension, vividly drawn characters, and a tender emotional core. This is a book bursting with love.

A rom-com that deftly hits many emotional beats. " - Kirkus Reviews"Emotional and mental health and therapy are all addressed in a positive way, and each character feels well-developed. Even the side story lines are well-rounded. A fun rom-com with an emotional punch.

An absolute delight that will linger long after the last page. " - Monica Gomez-Hira, author of Once Upon a Quinceanera"Kelsey Rodkey' s signature wit shines in this hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom.

" - Laura Taylor Namey, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl' s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow"A charming, hilarious debut that pays tribute to You' ve Got Mail while feeling uniquely modern.

You' ve Got Mail for teens. " - Booklist
Kelsey Rodkey is a burrito lover, banter enthusiast, and young adult writer, who strives to create the stories she lacked as a teenager. Before starting her job as a communications coordinator, she helped a British film crew make a documentary about a dog grooming expo and was an extra in a music video as a girl who couldn' t stop playing with her hair. She lives a few minutes from the capital of Pennsylvania, which a lot of people think is Philadelphia. Last Chance Books is her debut novel.
