Rules for Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell

Rules for Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell

Candace Bushnell, the #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Sex and the City, and Katie Cotugno, New York Times
bestselling author of 99 Days, team up to write a fierce, propulsive novel about a girl who is preyed upon by a manipulative teacher and finds the power to fight back. Perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Laurie Halse Anderson.

It starts before you can even
remember: You learn the rules for being a girl. . . .

Marin has always been good at
navigating these unspoken guidelines. A star student and editor of the school
paper, she dreams of getting into Brown University. Marin's future seems
bright--and her young, charismatic English teacher, Mr. Beckett, is always quick
to admire her writing and talk books with her.

But when "Bex" takes things too far
and comes on to Marin, she's shocked and horrified. Had she somehow led him on?
Was it her fault?

When Marin works up the courage to
tell the administration what happened, no one believes her. She's forced to
face Bex in class every day. Except now, he has an ax to grind.

But Marin isn't about to back down.
She uses the school newspaper to fight back and she starts a feminist book club
at school. She finds allies--and even romance--in the most unexpected people, like Gray
Kendall, who she'd always dismissed as just another lacrosse bro.

As things
heat up at school and in her personal life, Marin must figure out how to take
back the power and write her own rules.
