ABOUT THE BOOK: JUDE’S DIARY
YELLOWJACKETS meets A SIMPLE FAVOR in this standalone revenge thriller about how far one teenager is willing to go to get what she wants, and how far someone else will go to stop her.
When Westerling High senior Alissa Pike discovers someone is out to sabotage her plans and reputation, she's willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top, even if it means using and abusing the school outcast, Jude Peary.
Jude is always scribbling away in her diary -- a thin, blue spiral that she takes with her everywhere. Maybe something in Jude's diary can help Alissa set the record straight.
But what's really in Jude's diary isn't what Alissa expected. And Jude isn't who she seems after all. If Alissa wants to maintain her academic and social standings, she's going to have to do things she could never have imagined. How far is she willing to go to get what she really wants?
With twists and turns that leave you guessing who and what to believe, this YA thriller with a supernatural twist is perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson, and is dedicated to diehard fans of Christopher Pike and R.L. Stine.
