Bookroo's summary

A chronic worrier decides to confront her fears head-on by actively seeking out trouble before it finds her. As she navigates this self-imposed chaos, will she find peace or more anxiety? Dive into her journey of unexpected discoveries and see if her strategy leads to calm or calamity.

From the publisher

Rather than have trouble catch her by surprise, a perpetual worrier deliberately looks for it.
