BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons In Chemistry  'Pump this into my veins. A modern day Thelma \u0026amp; Louise for lesbians who make Das Kapital jokes' MADELEINE GRAY, author of Green Dot  Decisions were made: I made them. Violence was done: I did it. Crime scenes were fled: I fled them.  People were hurt: I hurt them. Someone was loved: I loved them. Not everything I did was bad. Just most of it.  A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone.  But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles's super-rich.  Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family's lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house.  Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.  Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life. Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie's story - anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war.  Evie is - finally and disastrously - someone.  Droll, dark and deeply insightful, Killer Potential is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of the horrors of late capitalism and how the stories we're sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52915172901137,"sku":"NGR9781399619585","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781399619585.jpg?v=1782858350"},{"product_id":"killer-potential-book-hannah-deitch-9780063356504","title":"Killer Potential","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Fierce, fun, wild, and enraging.\" --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A real joy to read . . . Killer Potential earns Deitch a spot on the 'new novelists to watch' list.\" -- Associated Press\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn electric debut novel following two young women after they flee a bloody murder scene in the Hollywood Hills and quickly become a runaway media sensation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDestined for greatness, wanted for murder. . .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA scholarship kid with straight As and big dreams, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone.
