MEDIA REVIEWS
'Fiercely funny,feminist and FUN! I bloody loved it'- M.A. Kuzniar
'Mean Girls meets Midsomer Murders with a dash of Louise Rennison in this genre-blending story... Kerry and Annie are self-absorbed friends whose obsession over their lack of popularity results in hysterically funny dialogue and a lighthearted tone. Kerry's crush on newcomer Scott offers sweet diversions. However,what really elevates the goofy capers and over-the-top scheming is how well Kerry and Annie know both themselves and each other. Secrets add depth and complexity to this insightful parody of teenage life. A nuanced,hilarious page-turning romantic mystery'- Kirkus
'Channeling the 1980s cult classic Heathers right down to the croquet set,Weston flaunts cozy English charm and puerile slapstick comedy in this propulsive mystery... the girls'chemistry as best friends and partners-in-crime-solving is energizing. Refreshing attention to sex positivity and period politics combined with Weston's timing-both comedic and plot driven-ensure a laugh-out-loud romp.'- Publishers Weekly
