This book was full of cliches and lacked dimension. I do not want to spoil the plot, but Mia and her companion are walking tropes that Foley failed to add anything worth-while to. Mia's dialogue is indicative of someone much older, but her sense of attitude and entitlement is indicative of what many adults think teenagers feel. I was actually quite disappointed to learn the author worked with teenagers because of this huge disconnect. The summary compared the story to Mindy McGinnis's work, but this is doing quite the injustice to McGinnis's characters as they do have in-depth development, dimension, and relationships. I understand what this book was trying to do, but there many, many better versions out there. I will not be spending my budget on this one.

First of all, the title pulled at my heartstrings! While reading the story about an at-risk teen named Mia, I just wanted to hug her! Very true to life!! I think every teen reading would get a message from this.

A great addition to school libraries!! So many teens go through the same situations and have the same issues! They need to know that they are not alone.

I really enjoyed this. I agree with one of the other reviews though. Mia acted a few years older than she was. Also, I gave up on looking at the footnotes since the file kept taking me to the very end of the book. Hopefully that will change.

What a powerful book! This story has a lot of strong content but it is real and relatable to many. Sometimes we shy away from telling those stories that involve strong content, language, situations and other things that can make the reader uncomfortable. This story will make some readers uncomfortable and others may find some of the content unbelievable. However, this story represents something real to many. Most of the scenarios are experiences and traumas suffered by many young adults. and their families. This is a story that is both a mirror and a window and will be on my list of recommends in the fall. I would even recommend this title to adults. Due to some content that may be triggering for some young adults, knowing the audience for the book will also be important. The author created such real characters you can almost the feel there is a personal connection to this story.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

*Thank you to the author, publisher and Net galley for an EARC of "You Know I'm No Good" in exchange for an honest review* This was an interesting book. I did like Mia as a main character, although at times she did speak like an adult and not like a 16 year old, so that kind of threw me out of the story. Although I did like the overall message of the story.
