A late-in-life coming-of-age escapade told with humor and heart, Don’t Think Twice is a moving and irreverent account of grief, growing up, and the healing power of adventure. Within six months, Barbara Schoichet lost everything: her job, her girlfriend of six years, and her mother to pancreatic cancer. Her life stripped bare, and armed with nothing but a death wish and a ton of attitude, Barbara pursues an unlikely method of coping. At the age of fifty she earns her motorcycle license, buys a Harley on eBay from two guys named Dave, and drives it alone from New York to Los Angeles on a circuitous trek loosely guided by her H.O.G. tour book and a whole lot of road whimsy. On the open highway—where she daily takes her speed to a hundred—Barbara battles physical limitations and inner demons on a journey that flows through the majestic Appalachian Mountains, the enchanting Turquoise Trail, and all along America’s iconic Route 66. She is awed by the battlefields in Gettysburg, stunned by the decadence of Graceland, and amused by a Cadillac graveyard in the middle of nowhere. She meets kind strangers, odd strangers, and a guy who pulls a gun on her for cutting him off. She is vulnerable but sassy, broken but determined to heal . . . or die trying.

From the bestselling author of Don't Even Think About It, these high school seniors may know each other's thoughts, but they'll never see what's coming. Since refusing to take the antidote after acquiring flu shot-induced telepathy two years ago, the twenty Espies (that's people with ESP to you norms) have been kept together in one class every single day. Now that they're seniors, their separation is looming . . . Though their superpower has come with a price--headaches, constant noise, purple-tinted eyes, C-list celebrity status--Mackenzie Feldman, Olivia Byrne, Cooper Miller, Pi Ricci, and the others wouldn't change a thing. They've all gotten closer than ever, and when--one-by-one--they start losing their telepathic abilities, they'll do whatever it takes to stop the damage. Graduation is coming up, and if the Espies are going out, they may as well go out with a bang.

Lockhart, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of We Were Liars "Funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable." --Ned Vizzini, New York Times-bestselling author of It's Kind of a Funny Story "Smart and frequently hilarious . . .

A “funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable” novel about a group of big-city teens with mind-blowing powers (Ned Vizzini, New York Times–bestselling author). It was just an ordinary day at Manhattan’s Bloomberg High School. Socially awkward Olivia Byrne was stressing about her upcoming speech in public speaking class. Cooper Miller was flying high over the Yankees’ win from the night before. Mackenzie Feldman, Cooper’s girlfriend, was dreading the class’s upcoming flu vaccines because of her overwhelming fear of needles. Little did Mackenzie know that the shot would be the least of her worries . . . Now—after getting immunized—most of the students in homeroom 10B have the power to hear everyone’s thoughts: catty remarks, who’s crushing on whom, and what their teachers and parents really think about them. Once the students figure out what’s going on, the question becomes: What do they do with their new superpower? Use it for good . . . or for evil? Because world domination is on the menu . . . “A tour-de-force comic narration that will leave you gasping in awe—if you ever catch your breath from laughing.” —E. Lockhart, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of We Were Liars “Smart and frequently hilarious . . .
