From bestselling author Lisa Yee comes a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt YA contemporary novel: The Kidney Hypothetical: Or How to Ruin Your Life in Seven Days.

 

High school senior Higgs Boson Bing (yes, that’s his real name) has it all figured out—college acceptance, a beautiful girlfriend, and a clear path to success. But when he dares to pose a hypothetical question about donating a kidney to save a stranger, his world unravels. His girlfriend dumps him, rumors spread like wildfire, and Higgs suddenly becomes a social outcast just days before graduation.

 

Funny, fast-paced, and full of sharp observations about popularity, identity, and what really matters, The Kidney Hypothetical is a witty take on teenage life that will resonate with fans of John Green and David Levithan.
