Things Jolie Needs to do Before She Bites It by Kerry Winfrey

I love this! Sixteen-year-old Jolie has an underbite, making it difficult for her to chew and sometimes talk. In two months, she’s having surgery to move her jaw into place. Jolie starts to worry that she’ll die on the operating table—which everyone tells her is highly unlikely—so she starts a list with her best friends, ‘Things Jolie Needs To Do Before She Bites It (Which Is Super Unlikely, but Still, It Could Happen)’. The list contains: Going to a bar, trying all the appetizers at Applebee’s, driving a convertible, jumping into a watering hole off a small cliff, and kissing Noah Reed, a boy at her school that she’s had a low-key crush on for years. Can Jolie figure out that she is beautiful with or without surgery? And will she die while undergoing said surgery?
