Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by debut author Joya Goffney is a story of an overly enthusiastic list maker who is blackmailed into completing a to-do list of all her worst fears. Itโs a heartfelt, tortured, contemporary YA high school romance. Fans of Jenny Hanโs To All the Boys Iโve Loved Before and Kristina Forestโs I Wanna Be Where You Are will love the juicy secrets and leap-off-the-page sexual tension.
โA hilarious and swoonworthy story.โ โKristina Forest, author of Now That Iโve Found You
โA fun, emotionally rich romance with a sweet, imperfect character who will win your heart.โ โLiara Tamani, author of All the Things We Never Knew
Quinn keeps lists of everythingโfrom the days sheโs ugly cried, to โThings That I Would Never Admit Out Loudโ and all the boys sheโd like to kiss. Her lists keep her sane. By writing her fears on paper, she never has to face them in real life. That is, until her journal goes missing . . .
Then an anonymous account posts one of her lists on Instagram for the whole school to see and blackmails her into facing seven of her greatest fears, or else her entire journal will go public. Quinn doesnโt know who to trust. Desperate, she teams up with Carter Bennettโthe last known person to have her journalโin a race against time to track down the blackmailer.
Together, they journey through everything Quinnโs been too afraid to face, and along the way, Quinn finds the courage to be honest, to live in the moment, and to fall in love.

Joya Goffney grew up in New Waverly, a small town in East Texas. In high school, she challenged herself with to-do lists full of risk-taking items, like โhug a random boyโ and โeat a cricket,โ which inspired her debut novel, Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry, followed by her acclaimed second book, Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl, both of which received starred reviews and stellar buzz from BookRiot, PopSugar, Buzzfeed, and YALSA Best Fiction and Kirkus Best Book accolades. With a passion for Black social psychology, she moved out of the countryside to attend the University of Texas in Austin and has since settled in Houston. Visit her online at joyagoffney.com.
