A love letter to romantic comedies, sweet sixteen blowouts, black joy and queer pride. <\/b><br \/>\nMahalia Harris wants.<br \/>\nShe wants a big Sweet Sixteen like her best friend Naomi. She wants the super cute new girl Siobhan to like her back. She wants a break from worrying--about money, snide remarks from white classmates, pitying looks from church ladies . . . all of it.<br \/>\nThen inspiration strikes: It's too late for a Sweet Sixteen, but what if she had a Coming Out Party? A singing, dancing, rainbow-cake-eating celebration of queerness on her own terms.<br \/>\nThe idea lights a fire in her, and soon Mahalia is scrimping and saving, taking on extra hours at her afterschool job, trying on dresses, and awkwardly flirting with Siobhan, all in preparation for the Coming Out of her dreams. But it's not long before she's buried in a mountain of bills, unfinished schoolwork, and enough drama to make her English Lit teacher blush. With all the responsibility on her shoulders, will Mahalia's party be over before it's even begun?<br \/>\nA novel about finding yourself, falling in love, and celebrating what makes you <i>you.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2023-01-09T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE!

Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh man! I\u2019d really want to see her neighborhood because I\u2019ve never been to the west coast. I\u2019d want to go to her favorite burger place that she goes to with Siobhan and her local beach. I\u2019m also a fan of drives, so I think it would be fun to go on a drive with her while listening to one of her playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If Mahalia&nbsp;were&nbsp;to hang out with other fictional characters, who would they be and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel like she\u2019d probably get along with Kat and Patrick from <em>10 Things I Hate About You<\/em>. They\u2019re definitely more outspoken about being outcasts than Mahalia is, but I think they\u2019d enjoy each other, and would make a great band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If there was one fictional place you could travel to for a day, where would it be and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kingdom from <em>Ella Enchanted<\/em>. I feel like Ella would be a very good ruler and also a good host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If you buried a time&nbsp;capsule with three items inside, what three items would you choose and&nbsp;why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably my laptop, a poster for a favorite movie \u2013 I can\u2019t decide which one, but maybe <em>Moonstruck <\/em>\u2013 and one of my books. I\u2019m attached to my laptop, love movies, and I would want to see my reaction to my work in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What was your favorite bit of research you ended up not using?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t really do any research for this book, but I liked doing different versions of the playlist that my character creates throughout the book and sampling all of the music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is your favorite quote, scene, or moment from&nbsp;<em>Friday I&#8217;m in Love<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scene in the auditorium!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/December-2022-Dividers.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/December-2022-Dividers.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/December-2022-Dividers-300x18.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/December-2022-Dividers-768x45.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/About-the-Author-Winter-2022.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/About-the-Author-Winter-2022.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/About-the-Author-Winter-2022-300x59.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/About-the-Author-Winter-2022-768x150.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\"><h3>About Camryn Garrett<\/h3><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/camryn-garrett-author-pic-234x350.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\"><p>Camryn Garrett was born and raised in New York.
