    "description": "<b>From the author of <i>Our Chemical Hearts</i> comes the hilarious, reality-bending tale of two outsiders facing their greatest fears about life and love&mdash;one debilitating phobia at a time.</b><br /><b> &#160;</b><br />Ever since Esther Solar&rsquo;s grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther&rsquo;s father is agoraphobic and hasn&rsquo;t left the basement in six years, her twin brother can&rsquo;t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck.<br />&#160;<br />The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.<br />&#160;<br />Esther doesn&rsquo;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.<br />&#160;<br />Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money and a fruit roll-up she&rsquo;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 hadn&rsquo;t counted on: love.",
