Synopsis

Secret: I kissed someone else's boyfriend.

Assignment: Do it again.

Like most who find Life by Committee, Tabitha is a little lost. Her best friend has ditched her, her Vermont town is feeling way too small, and she's falling head over heels for a guy named Joe—who already has a girlfriend. Just when Tab is afraid she'll burst from keeping the secret of Joe inside, she discovers Life by Committee. The rules of LBC are simple: tell a secret, receive an assignment. Complete the assignment to keep your secret safe.

Tab likes it that the assignments push her to her limits, empowering her to live boldly and go further than she'd ever go on her own. But in the name of truth and bravery, how far is too far to go?

Perfect for fans of E. Lockhart and Jennifer E. Smith, Life by Committee is a fresh, vibrant novel about the power of wanting, the messiness of friendship, and the truths we hide and share.

One secret gets Tabitha an assignment. But every assignment leads to another secret.

• Love Triangle: Tabitha wants Joe. The only problem? He already has a girlfriend, and Tab’s first assignment is to kiss him again.
• Secrets and Lies: The rules of Life by Committee are simple: share a secret, get an assignment. But keeping her secrets safe means pushing every boundary she has.
• Small Town Setting: In a Vermont town that feels way too small, Tabitha is losing her best friend and her sense of self all at once.
• Coming of Age Story: For every dare she completes, Tabitha feels more alive—and more lost. How far is too far to go to find yourself?
