How to Be Bad

Three bestselling authors—E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle—bring you on the road trip of a lifetime in this dynamic novel packed with fun, friendship, and feminism.

Jesse, Vicks, and Mel each has her own reason for wanting to get away from their nowheresville Florida town. Add in a hot (and harmless) hitchhiker, an impending hurricane, and a close encounter of the gator kind, and the result is one sizzling road trip where the journey is far more important than the destination.

Now in a fresh new package, YA fans will love going along with these three powerhouse storytellers on the ride of a lifetime.

What happens when three unlikely friends hit the road with no map and a trunk full of secrets?

• Unlikely Friendship: A rule-following girl, a rebel with a broken heart, and a rich kid hiding from her life. They have nothing in common except a desperate need to get away.
• YA Road Trip Adventure: From gator-filled swamps to a hurricane party, this wild ride through Florida is fueled by junk food, bad decisions, and the perfect playlist.
• Multiple POV: Told from the alternating perspectives of Jesse, Vicks, and Mel, this story shows the journey through three very different pairs of eyes.
• Found Family: They start out as coworkers, but after one chaotic weekend of stolen cars and roadside disasters, they might just be the only family they can count on.
