About this Event
Meet author CL Montblanc at your Flagship HPB on Wednesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. Joined by fellow author Ashley Schumacher, they'll discuss CL's new book, Pride or Die, a delightful dark comedy for young adults. Book signing to follow. Ticket includes copy of book.
About Pride or Die
It’s kind of hard to graduate high school when you’re the prime suspect in an attempted M**der.
Seventeen-year-old Eleanora Finkel just wants to finish her senior year and get the hell out of Texas. But when her LGBTQ+ 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. Unfortunately, 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 killer. But if her chaotic friend group can't sleuth their way out of an entire freaking M**der mystery, they might just become the next targets.
