What to Say Next

"What to Say Next reminds readers that hope can be found in unexpected places." (Bustle)

From the New York Times best-selling author of Tell Me Three Things comes a charming and poignant story about two struggling teenagers who find an unexpected connection just when they need it most. For fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Niven, and Rainbow Rowell.

Sometimes a new perspective is all that is needed to make sense of the world.

Kit: I don't know why I decide not to sit with Annie and Violet at lunch. It feels like no one here gets what I'm going through. How could they? I don't even understand.

David: In the 622 days I've attended Mapleview High, Kit Lowell is the first person to sit at my lunch table. I mean, I've never once sat with someone until now. "So your dad is dead", I say to Kit, because this is a fact I've recently learned about her.

When an unlikely friendship is sparked between relatively popular Kit Lowell and socially isolated David Drucker, everyone is surprised, most of all Kit and David. Kit appreciates David's blunt honesty - in fact, she finds it bizarrely refreshing. David welcomes Kit's attention and her inquisitive nature. When she asks for his help figuring out the how and why of her dad's tragic car accident, David is all in. But neither of them can predict what they'll find. Can their friendship survive the truth?

"Charming, funny, and deeply affecting all at the same time." (Nicola Yoon, New York Times best-selling author of Everything, Everything and The Sun Is Also a Star)

"Told in the alternating voices of a girl whose world has been shattered and a boy who is the only person in her life who sees her clearly, What to Say Next is about the power of connection and the beauty of compassion. With sensitivity, wisdom, and heart, Julie Buxbaum weaves a story in which loss and grieving are balanced by humor and insight.

Engaging characters and memorable plot

Julie Buxbaum's What to Say Next features characters who are unique--and their wit, humor, heart, and honesty will stick with the reader. I loved the unlikely friendship and watching it deepen and be tested. I tend to lean toward fantasy books, but this realistic contemporary is a standout for all the feeling and understanding it conveys. Highly recommended!

great listen

cool millennial love story. great subplot about bullying and being socially different in today's society

Amazing

I’ve loved this book so much. David’s point of view brought tears to my eyes, as the mother of an Autism Spectrum teenager I was seeing some of my son in David. Kit was very well written and had great character development. I highly recommend this book.

Best read in aeons!

This book is for anyone who...
Loves to read.
Loves to laugh.
Loves to love.

David’s fault

I loved the book until the end but how did Kit become the victim. Kind of poopy.
