Do not get to know me. Do not ask me out. Do not love me. Be warned!
I am Jinx.
Jinx doesn't start out as Jinx -- at first she's dull, safe, boring Jen. Jen who always hands her homework in on time, Jen who never stays out late, Jen who can always be counted on.
When Jen's first boyfriend dies, she thinks she's unlucky...until her second boyfriend dies too. Jen is Jinx now -- a curse, a promise of bad luck, a girl who's angry and alone, who can't get close to people anymore.
Can Jinx find her way back to being Jen again?

Review:
Booklist (starred review) Intricate, vivid language.
Publishers Weekly The brief narratives precisely capture the spirit of a character, feeling, or moment. Together, the poems create something larger: a portrait of a young woman pulling herself out of despair.
Kirkus Reviews A subtly wrought, deeply affecting story.
SLJ The voices are distinct, and all ring true.
From the Author:
Publishers Weekly The brief narratives precisely capture the spirit of a character, feeling, or moment. Together, the poems create something larger: a portrait of a young woman pulling herself out of despair.
Kirkus Reviews A subtly wrought, deeply affecting story.
SLJ The voices are distinct, and all ring true.
'I was working full-time and finding it difficult to write a sustained narrative. So I started writing small pieces and found I enjoyed focussing on emotions, scenes and characters. Over the past couple of years the small pieces increased in quantity until I actually had the makings of a novel. '
