This is a funny, sharply observed and very timely tale."—Jennifer Weiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author When Hazel Blum’s father gets a tenured job at a prestigious college, she and her family relocate from Brooklyn to a middle-of-nowhere town in Maine. But just as they begin to slowly acclimate to their new lives and connect with the town’s sprawling community, a dramatic fallout on the very first day of Hazel’s senior year tips the fickle balance of idyllic Riverburg and impacts everyone in her family. Emotionally deft, authentic, and compulsively readable, Hazel Says No is a debut novel not to be missed.
