A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares

A Semi-Definitive List of Worst Nightmares

From the author of Our Chemical Hearts comes the hilarious, reality-bending tale of two outsiders facing their greatest fears about life and loveâ€”one debilitating phobia at a time.
Â
Ever since Esther Solarâ€™s grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Estherâ€™s father is agoraphobic and hasnâ€™t left the basement in six years, her twin brother canâ€™t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck.
Â
The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.
Â
Esther doesnâ€™t know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen other phobias she keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares.
Â
Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money and a fruit roll-up sheâ€™d been saving, Jonah also steals her list of fears. Despite the theft, Esther and Jonah become friends, and he sets a challenge for them: in an effort to break the curse that has crippled her family, they will meet every Sunday of senior year to work their way through the list, facing one terrifying fear at a time, including one that Esther hadnâ€™t counted on: love.
