She is the author of the young adult book An Off Year published by Dutton in 2009 and selected by Indie Booksellers for the Autumn 2009 Kids' Indie Next List and cited as one of the ALA's 2010 Best Books for Young Adults. It was received positively, with Kirkus Reviews writing "Teens who have doubted the high-school–college-life progression for even a moment will recognize themselves in Cecily, perhaps to their parents’ dismay." and Publishers Weekly describing it as "a candid first novel filled with funny-smart, true-to-life observations and dialogue" She states that the book, based loosely on her own experiences, took over 10 years to write.
