Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth; 2021. Hardcover. (YA)

Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Nina LaCour, this queer coming-of-age story from the
author of The Falling in Love Montage is wry, multilayered, and
unflinchingly honest.

Aideen has plenty of problems she can’t solve. But
when she stumbles upon overachiever Meabh Kowalska having a full-blown
meltdown, she sees one that she can actually fix. Meabh is desperate to escape
her crushing pile of extracurriculars. Aideen volunteers to help—by pushing her
down the stairs.


Problem? Solved. Meabh’s sprained ankle is the perfect
excuse to ditch her overwhelming schedule. But when one of their classmates
learns about their little scheme, more “clients” start asking for Aideen’s
“help”—kicking off a semester of traded favors, ill-advised hijinks, and even
an unexpected chance at love.


Fixing other people’s problems won’t fix her own. But it
might be the push Aideen needs to start.
