You're looking for paranormal or fantasy elements; this is grounded contemporary YA with no magical thinking.

About this book

Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry is a contemporary YA high school romance about Quinn, an avid list maker who documents everything from her worst fears to boys she'd like to kiss. Writing down her anxieties helps her avoid facing them in real life—until her journal goes missing. An anonymous account posts one of Quinn's lists on Instagram and blackmails her into confronting seven of her greatest fears, threatening to release her entire journal publicly if she refuses. Unsure who to trust, Quinn partners with Carter Bennett, the last person known to have her journal, to identify the blackmailer before time runs out. As Quinn and Carter work together to track down who's behind the blackmail, Quinn confronts the fears she's long avoided. Through this process, she discovers the courage to be honest, live in the present moment, and fall in love.
