'An absolutely stunning, but also incredibly important novel about best friends and discovering who you are.' -Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best The only problem? Codi never tells Maritza or JaKory about any of it. In return for never talking about that kiss, Ricky takes Codi under his wing and draws her into a wild summer filled with late nights, new experiences, and one really cute girl named Lydia.

Straight kids.īut then Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy in the dark, and an unexpected friendship is formed. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. It’s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. Late to the Party is an ode to late bloomers and wallflowers everywhere. From author Kelly Quindlen comes a poignant and deeply relatable story about friendship, self-acceptance, and what it means to be a Real Teenager.
