The road to independence has never been easy.
What Penelope Yeager wants:
1. Get out of high school.
2. Have sex.
3. Fall in love.
4. Get her driver’s license.
5. Forget what happened ten years ago.
6. See her mother happy.
She’s figured out how to get out of school a year early. If she can figure out the rest, maybe she’ll actually be happy. Unfortunately, the rest isn’t nearly as easy.
