About this ebook

A blistering, timely tale of revenge from the bestselling author of The Passenger

GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS

What do you love? What do you hate? What do you want?

It starts with this simple writing prompt from Alex Witt to her students at Stonebridge Academy. When their answers raise disturbing questions of their own, Ms. Witt knows there's more going on at the school than anyone will admit. She finds the few girls who've started to question the school's 'boys will be boys' attitude and incites a resistance that quickly becomes a movement. As the school's secrets begin to trickle out, the skirmish turns into an all-out war, with deeply personal – and potentially fatal – consequences for everyone involved.

Stunning depiction of an all-out gender war, and a big FU to the "boys will be boys" mentality in schools. Easy to read (possibly YA, not entirely sure) with a very clear message.. "You can keep telling girls to be polite, to keep a level head and it'll all work out in the end. But don't be surprised when they figure out you've been feeding them lies. Don't be alarmed when they grow tired of using their voices and playing by your rules. And don't be shocked when they decide that if they can't win a fair fight, they'll just have to fight dirty."
