Meet YA Author Sarah Mlynowski

Avid Bookshop presents YA author Sarah Mlynowski on Saturday, March 15, 2014, from 6:30pm - 7:30pm for her book Don’t Event Think About It. There is no admission charge.

New in contemporary teen fiction from Sarah Mlynowski, the author of Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn’t Have), Don’t Event Think About It takes on the world of young adult romance, secrets, and scandals—with just a dash of ESP.

Everything is adolescence as usual at Bloomberg High School in New York City’s elite Tribeca neighborhood, until one sophomore homeroom goes in for flu shots. They were prepared for some side effects, of course: maybe a headache, maybe a sore arm. They definitely didn’t expect telepathic powers. Now, they can hear what everyone is thinking: friends, parents, crushes. Now, they all know that Tess is in love with her best friend, Teddy. That Mackenzie cheated on Cooper. That, um, Nurse Carmichael used to be a stripper...

The group has kept their skill a secret, and now they know everything, from what’s on the next test to what their friends really think of that new haircut. Some of them will thrive. Some will crack. None will ever be the same. So stop obsessing about your ex—they’re always listening.

Booklist raved, “Readers will hope for a sequel with amped-up Espie secrets and scandals. Hand to fans of Cecily von Ziegesar’s all-seeing Gossip Girl and Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian’s Burn for Burn revenge books. Now, flu shot, anyone?" Delacorte Press will publish the sequel from Mlynowski, Think Twice, in August 2015.

SARAH MLYNOWSKI is the author of the Magic in Manhattan and Whatever After series, as well as Gimme a Call, Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn’t Have), Milkrun, and more. Her books have been translated into twenty- two languages and Bra & Broomstick was optioned to Hollywood. Sarah was born in Montreal but lives and writes in New York City.
