What now?
Lucy just had the worst week ever. And suddenly, it’s all too much—she wants out. Out of her house, out of her head, out of her life. She wants to be a whole new Lucy. So she does something the old Lucy would never dream of.
And now her life will never be the same. Now, how will she be able to have a boyfriend? What will she tell her friends? How will she face her family? Now, every moment is a precious gift. She never thought being positive could be so negative. But now, everything’s different…because now she’s living with HIV.
Praise for My Life After Now: “Debut author Verdi paints Lucy’s devastation and her tangled emotions with honestly and compassion…telling Lucy’s story with realism and hope.”
—Publishers Weekly “Verdi forces her readers to face Lucy’s dilemma with unflinching honestly and unfaltering compassion. A gem of a novel.”
