Written with the intelligence and grace that are the hallmarks of Anita Shreve's bestselling novels, this gripping tale of desire, jealousy, and loss is peopled by unforgettable characters as real as the emotions that bring them together.

The Scions are the four richest, most powerful guys at Valesca Academy, and they rule the school with iron fists. Everyone wants to date them or be them...everyone, that is, except Maya Lindberg, who just wants to avoid them until she can graduate. She almost succeeds, until an ill-advised outburst puts her right in the Scions' path. Just like that, one becomes her fake boyfriend, one her unwanted matchmaker, one her guardian angel, and the one she can’t stand the most? Yeah, he's her new housemate. Is she happy about it? Hell no. All I’ve Never Wanted is a romantic comedy about what happens when a girl gets everything she never asked for, including a puppy, a new wardrobe, and, possibly, even true love.
Mim knows what she wants, and where she wants to go—anywhere but home, stuck in the suburbs with her mother who won't get off the couch, and two brothers in prison. She's set herself rules to live by, but she's starting to break them. Now Mim has to retrieve a lost package for her mother. Does this make her a drug runner? Why is a monster dog called Gargoyle hidden in the back shed? And Jordan, the boy she sent Valentines to for years, why is he now suddenly a creep? How come there's a huge gap between her and her best friend, Tahnee? And who is the mysterious girl next door who moans at night? Over the nine days before her seventeenth birthday, Mim's life turns upside down. She has problems, and she's determined to solve them herself. But in the end, she works out who her people are, and the same things look entirely different.
