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. Praise for SUMMER AND THE CITY: “If ever a book resounded with positive messages for young people, it’s this one.” - USA Today Praise for SUMMER AND THE CITY: “Fans of the franchise will want to learn more of Carrie’s coming-of-age experiences and will appreciate the sly wit that sometimes shines through-repartee at parties is occasionally priceless; others might enjoy imagining themselves in Carrie’s freewheeling demi-adult world.” - Kirkus Reviews Praise for SUMMER AND THE CITY: “The 1980s Manhattan setting is vividly realized, while Carrie’s friendships, doubts, joys, and truisms are relatable and revealing for teens and recognizable for adults. Both audiences will flock to this installment, like Carrie to Chanel.” - ALA Booklist Praise for SUMMER AND THE CITY: “‘Summer and the City’ is Grade-A chick lit from one of its masters.” - Los Angeles Times Praise for SUMMER AND THE CITY: “An enjoyable romp of a read.” - Entertainment Weekly Praise for THE CARRIE DIARIES: “It would have been easy to write a coming-of-age story about Carrie Bradshaw that ham-fistedly foreshadows everything fans of the franchise know will come to pass. But Bushnell nails something harder: telling another chapter in the story of a cherished character that stands on its own.” - Entertainment Weekly Praise for HOW TO LOVE: “Cotugno’s debut ambitiously, and intriguingly, follows a couple who fall in love twice, over two different time periods.” - ALA Booklist “Marin’s transformation into a clear-eyed young activist will inspire teens…this fast-paced narrative introduces the complexities of intersectionality, identifies the insidious impact of rape culture, and encourages readers to take a stand against everyday injustices.” - School Library Journal An engrossing and engaging read, filled with dynamic characters. While Marin’s is a fight that should never be necessary, her experience is one that many women and girls will unfortunately relate to. A powerful story of a girl determined to make others look her in the eyes and listen.  - Associated Press "The authors write a convincing teen exploring the complex, frequently sexist social norms that girls and women navigate daily."  - Publishers Weekly “A blistering look at a girl who, when her eyes are opened by an injustice, reacts by taking action…. Readers will be glad for this take from two powerhouse creators.” - ALA Booklist Praise for 99 DAYS: “This book will appeal to fans of E. Lockhart’s The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks (Hyperion, 2008), offering complex characters, plot twists, and an insightful look at society’s double standards.” - School Library Journal Praise for 99 DAYS: “A thought-provoking story...[that] explores the powerful bonds that arise between childhood friends who grow up to discover romance” - Publishers Weekly Praise for 99 DAYS: “A complicated, compelling summer romance…and a whole lot of kissing make[s] this one to stick in the beach bag.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Praise for FIREWORKS: “Cotugno hits the nail on the head when exploring female friendship and the difficulties surrounding life in the spotlight. This devourable novel will appeal to those interested in the creation of fame, but also to any girl on the cusp of change.” - ALA Booklist Praise for FIREWORKS: “A thrilling, intense read...this book will hook readers.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Candace Bushnell is the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Carrie Diar
