Synopsis

<div>Nanette O'Hare is an unassuming teen who has played the role of dutiful daughter, hardworking student, and star athlete for as long as she can remember. But when a beloved teacher gives her his worn copy of <i>The Bugglegum Reaper</i>--a mysterious, out-of-print cult classic--the rebel within Nanette awakens. <br><br>As she befriends the reclusive author, falls in love with a young but troubled poet, and attempts to insert her true self into the world with wild abandon, Nanette learns the hard way that rebellion sometimes comes at a high price.<br><br>A celebration of the self and the formidable power of story, <i>Every Exquisite Thing</i> is Matthew Quick at his finest. <br></div>
