I was doing SOOO good at not requesting too many ARCs and getting overwhelmed and reading them at the very last minute..and here we are. Here's CL Montblanc's "Pride or Die."
["It’s kind of hard to graduate high school when you’re the prime suspect in an attempted murder.
Seventeen-year-old Eleanora Finkel just wants to finish her senior year and get the hell out of Texas. But when her club meeting inconveniently coincides with an attack on the school’s head cheerleader, she and her friends find themselves in the hot seat.
In order to clear their names and ensure the survival of their club for future queer teens, they’ll have to track down the real culprit themselves. But Eleanora is far from a professional detective; she’s riddled with anxiety, annoyingly attracted to the case’s cute victim, and her trusty crochet hook feels insufficient for fighting off a murderer. Can this ragtag group of unlikely sleuths find their way out of an entire freaking murder mystery before one of them is next?"]
This book got off to a fast start. Victim in chapter one fast. And each of the following chapters left on a (minor) cliffhanger, leaving you wanting more and more. Not to mention the likable as hell characters and their fight for space in a world who wants them shut away. There are so many stakes and so many iconic moments.
Trigger Warnings: homophobia, transphobia, bullying, violence, creepy white men, and more.
