Synopsis

"Everyone has their own rebellion. This is mine."

For fans of Normal People, Sally Rooney, and Euphoria comes a sharp, spicy, and fearlessly honest story about finding yourself-even when it means losing everyone else.

Fifteen-year-old Abbie Chesterton is social suicide personified. Ever since her ex-best friend Moe started dating Horace Bermond (Abbie's actual ex), she's been exiled from London's elite teenage social scene. No invites. No parties. Just crushing loneliness and the burning question: is this all there is?

Then she meets Jonah Wood.

American. Intellectually brilliant. Slightly strange. Completely captivating.

As Jonah introduces Abbie to a London she never knew existed-underground arthouse cinema, riverside views, hidden walkways-she begins to discover parts of herself she never knew existed, too. Her art. Her voice. Her desire.

Getting into Jonah's prestigious school feels like her ticket out of teenage purgatory. But as Abbie becomes consumed with creating the perfect portfolio and impressing Jonah, she doesn't notice she's leaving everyone else behind-including Julie, the one friend who never abandoned her.

By the time Abbie realizes just how much Jonah has changed her, she'll have to answer the question that terrifies her most: Has she finally found herself, or simply lost who she really was?

Set against the backdrop of 2010 London, THESE PERFECTLY CARELESS THINGS is a searing, emotional story about first love, fierce friendship, and the beautiful chaos of becoming yourself-regardless of the collateral damage.
