The History of Jane Doe

This coming-of-age story examines the wonder of finding someone who finally sees you, the pain of depression, and the beautiful, horrible, astonishing, tragic truth of the past, present, and future.

“[An] impressive debut . . . John Green fans will gobble this one up.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A [young adult] triple threat . . . genuine, believable, and relatable.”—Hello Giggles

Raymond Green was a history buff without a story of his own.

Then the sarcastic, folk-music-loving Jane Doe moves to Ray and Simon’s weird little town of Burgerville, and a miraculous thing happens: She chooses Ray and Simon as her people. And rather than imploding, the universe bends to accept this new reality.

So begins their junior year of green cows, epiphany-filled minivan rides, and first love. For once, Ray is more excited about the present than the past.
