From booktuber Francina Simone, SMASH IT! (out September 22nd 2020) is inspired by Shonda Rhimes’ Year of Yes and follows Liv as she decides to create an F-it list and say yes to everything that scares her, including auditioning for her high school’s hip hop retelling of Othello. The book deals with sex positivity, body issues, shame, love, and all of the regular things teens deal with that aren’t written about this authentically nearly enough.

SYNOPSIS
Olivia “Liv” James is done with letting her insecurities get the best of her. So she does what any self-respecting hot mess of a girl who wants to SMASH junior year does…
After Liv shows up to a Halloween party in khaki shorts—why, God, why?—she decides to set aside her wack AF ways. She makes a list—a F*ck-It list.
1. Be bold—do the thing that scares me.
2. Learn to take a compliment.
3. Stand out instead of back.
She kicks it off by trying out for the school musical, saying yes to a date and making new friends. Life is great when you stop punking yourself! However, with change comes a lot of missteps, and being bold means following her heart. So what happens when Liv’s heart is interested in three different guys—and two of them are her best friends? What is she supposed to do when she gets dumped by a guy she’s not even dating? How does one Smash It! after the humiliation of being friend-zoned?
In Liv’s own words, “F*ck it. What’s the worst that can happen?”
A lot, apparently.
