About Five Places You Meet Fifteen-Year-Old You:
Five Places You Meet Fifteen-Year-Old You grapples with the fragility of memory, the ravages of chronic illness, plenty of youthful regrets, and unbridled hope for the future. It’s a surreal, strange, and deeply moving trip into a narrator’s psyche while her fifteen-year-old self tags along-with the simultaneous curiosity and nonchalant sarcasm you might expect from a teenager.
