The Theory of Everything

Just because everyone elsethinks you should be over it, doesn't mean you are.

Last year, Sarah's best friend Jamie died in a freak accident. Back then, everyone was sad; now they're just ready for Sarah to get over it and move on.

But Sarah's not ready to move on. She can't stop reliving what happened, struggling with guilt, questioning the meaning of life, and missing her best friend. Her grades are plummeting, her relationships are falling apart, and hernormal voice seems to have been replaced with a snark box. Life just seems random: no pattern, no meaning, no rules and no reason to bother.

The Theory of Everything is a darkly humorous look at the struggle to push through grief andfind meaning again.

Praise for This girl is different:

"Evie is astrong yet vulnerable heroine whose intellectual bent and sense of self will remind readers that, as historian Laurel Thatcher Urlich said, ‘Well-behaved women rarely make history.'" -Booklist

"Outspoken Evie, with a voice so endearing and provocative that it will make readers pause often to think, quickly discovers in this witty debut that high school is full of biased rules, abuses of power and a lack of civil liberties...Readers will never look at high school-or life-the same." -Kirkus Reviews

"Offering a thorough examination of the pitfalls of protest and revolution interms teens will understand, this smart first novel will likely spark discussions about authority abuse and crossing boundaries." -Publishers Weekly
