What to expect
'Suspenseful, witty, and oh so timely. It’s been ages since I devoured a book this quickly.' Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
'A fierce, feminist anthem' SLJ
When three friends in a tiny rural town realise they've all been the victim of the same guy, they plan a revenge prank in the woods. But things take a distinctly dark turn with an accident, a snowstorm and the appearance of a grizzly bear.
Now the girls share a terrible secret.
But when bear attacks on local men begin to multiply the girls start to wonder, truly, who is more dangerous?
When it comes to boys and bears, always choose the bear.
A powerful, page-turning coming-of-rage story
