About this item
Cross Veronica Mars with MTVs Daria, and youll get Scarlett Epstein, the snarky, judgmental, and often hilarious star of Scarlett Epstein Hates It Here, a witty and heartwarming novel thats perfect for fans of David Arnolds Mosquitoland and Kody Keplingers The Duff. "Absolutely delightful, the kind of book youll be reading for an hour before you realize youve been grinning the whole time." - Buzzfeed"A sparkling, unabashedly feminist debut." - Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review"Rainbow Rowells Fangirl meets Harriet the Spy in this coming-of-age tale filled with emotional resonance." - TeenVogue.com Meet Scarlett Epstein, BNF (Big Name Fan) in her online community of fanfiction writers, world-class nobody at Melville High. Her best (read: only) IRL friends are Avery, a painfully shy and annoyingly attractive bookworm, and Ruth, her pot-smoking, possibly insane seventy-three-year-old neighbor. When Scarletts beloved TV show is canceled and her longtime crush, Gideon, is sucked out of her orbit and into the dark and distant world of Populars, Scarlett turns to the fanfic message boards for comfort. This time, though, her subjects arent the swoon-worthy stars of her fave series - theyre the real-life kids from her high school. Scarlett never considers what might happen if they were to find out what she truly thinks about them...until a dramatic series of events exposes a very different reality than Scarletts stories, forever transforming her approach to relationships - both online and off.
