'Unflinchingly irreverent, laugh out loud funny and heartbreakingly
honest' Elizabeth Acevedo, bestselling author of The Poet X
'Morgan Parker put this song on - and I hope it never turns off' Nic
Stone, bestselling author of Dear Martin
WHEN THE WORLD SAYS FIT IN, ASK WHY
Trapped in sunny, stifling, small-town suburbia, seventeen-year-old
Morgan knows why she's in therapy. She can't count the number of times
she's been the only non-white person at the sleepover, been teased for
her "weird" outfits, and been told she's not "really" black. Also,
she's spent most of her summer crying in bed. So there's that, too.
Lately, it feels like the whole world is listening to the same terrible
track on repeat - and it's telling them how to feel, who to vote for,
what to believe. Morgan wonders, when can she turn this song off and
begin living for herself?
Life may be a never-ending hamster wheel of agony, but Morgan finds her
crew of fellow outcasts, blasts music like there's no tomorrow,
discovers what being black means to her, and finally puts her mental
health first. She decides that, no matter what, she will always be
intense, ridiculous, passionate, and sometimes hilarious. After all,
darkness doesn't have to be a bad thing. Darkness is just real.
Loosely based on her own teenage life and diaries, Morgan Parker's WHO
PUT THIS SONG ON? is an outstanding debut, full of courage, generosity
and reasons to live.
