Simone breaks all the rules
(Book)

At seventeen Simone Thibodeaux is fed up with her over-protective mother's insistence on micro-managing her life, like picking her prom date from a "nice" Haitian immigrant family. She is determined to attend with Gavin Stackhouse (even if he does not know that yet). Together with her fellow late-bloomer friends, Simone comes up with a bucket list of rule-breaking (like cutting classes, and sneaking out of the house). As things get complicated, and Simone has to decide which rules are worth breaking, and which should just be left alone.
