Eva Darrows

Quinn was a mean girl.

We’re not talking “mouthy” or “occasionally moody” or “sharp around the edges.” We’re talking “full-throttle mega-mean girl with acid spit and laser eyes.” That’s awful to say about the recently departed, but you had to see her in action to understand. If she didn’t like you, she took insidious glee in decimating you until you were a twitching pile of pudding beneath her stilettos. Worse? She got away with it. People allowed a lava-spewing horror show to rule the school because she was hot and popular

High school is gross.

Praise for Eva Darrows’s The Awesome

“Blisteringly funny and unrepentantly crass.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Maggie’s profanity-laced, snarky, deeply loving, yet antagonistic relationship with her mother is delightful.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
