Pretty Furious

#1 New York Times bestseller E.K. Johnston returns with a contemporary feminist young adult novel about a small town, fierce friendships, and revenge served cold.

You will never suspect us,
But you’ll always wonder how we did it
. . . and why.

In the small town of Eganston, Ontario, five good girls have had enough. Having faced the best and the worst of their tight-knit community, Maddie Carter and her friends are tired of the unfair societal expectations placed upon them. When a scandal involving a local girl sparks outrage, Maddie and her friends decide it’s time to take matters—and justice—into their own hands. Together, they’ve decided that it’s time for a reckoning and that justice is their privilege to give.

Join these five young women whose struggles offer a powerful glimpse into the emotional and social challenges of adolescence.
