Hilarious, heartbreaking, and sneaky suspenseful, Just Do This One Thing for Me is a timely novel about a rule-following daughter trying to hold her family together after her scammer mother disappears.
âJust do this one thing for me.â Drew's mother says it more often than good morning. Heidi Hill has been juggling shady side hustles for all of Drewâs seventeen years, and Drew knows that âone thingâ really means all the necessary things her mother thinks are boring, including taking care of her fifteen-year-old sister and eight-year-old brother. In fact, Drew is the closest thing to a responsible adult theyâve ever known. When their mother disappears on the way to a New Yearâs Eve concert in Mexico and her schemes start unraveling, Drew is faced with a choice: Follow the rules, do the responsible thing, and walk away--alone--from her mother's mess. Or hope the weather stays cold, keep the cons going, and just maybe hold her family together.
