Her adult novels The Opposite of Love (2008) and After You (2009) dealt with grief and relationships, while Tell Me Three Things (2016) marked her move to YA with a story about a girl who receives anonymous emails from a classmate at her new school.

What to Say Next (2017) follows two unlikely friends, one on the autism spectrum, as they investigate a car accident that killed one of their fathers. Hope and Other Punch Lines (2019) revisits the aftermath of 9/11 through a teenage girl’s eyes. Buxbaum has continued to publish across age categories, with The Area 51 Files (2022) aimed at a middle-grade audience.
