A proposito di questo titolo
When the members of an LGBTQ+ club find themselves accidentally framed for attempted murder, it's up to them to clear their names before it's too late in “this dark and comedic mystery [which] deftly explores the gray areas between right and wrong, successfully addressing the complexity of people’s characters.” –Kirkus
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 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 murder mystery, they might just become the next targets.
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.
Recensioni della critica
“This dark and comedic mystery by debut author Montblanc deftly explores the gray areas between right and wrong, successfully addressing the complexity of people’s characters…the fast-paced plot and delicious mystery more than carry the narrative. A delicate queer romance that slowly blossoms throughout the story is the icing on the cake.” –Kirkus
"The teen characters are delightfully authentic down to the way they each message their group chat...joyful queer chaos is present and accounted for throughout." –Booklist
"Pride or Die is an entertaining mystery novel for young adults that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Fans of murder mysteries, thrillers, and suspense novels will enjoy trying to solve who attempted to kill Kenley and whether the murderer is still out there." –YA Books Central
“Timely, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, PRIDE OR DIE is the kind of book I wish I had as a queer teenager growing up in a conservative state. Truly, this book has everything: attempted murder, gay chaos, and some of the most charming and relatable friendship dynamics I’ve ever read about. CL Montblanc is one to watch.” –Kayla Cottingham, author of This Delicious Death
“With a loveable, wacky friend group, a sweet, budding sapphic romance, and an absolutely killer voice, PRIDE OR DIE is a masterful genre blend. This suspenseful delight of a book shows the importance of identity acceptance and brings ‘be gay, solve crime’ to hilarious new heights.” –Justine Pucella Winans, author of Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything
“The funniest debut of the year. Exceptionally timely, and the most lovable, chaotic cast. CL Montblanc is an author to watch.” –Page Powars, author of The Borrow a Boyfriend Club
“Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. With an incredibly fresh voice, witty dialogue, and a cast of characters you'll love, Pride or Die is the most fun you'll ever have reading about attempted murder!” –Elle Gonzalez Rose, author of 10 Things I Hate About Prom
"Filled with laugh-out-loud worthy prose, breathtaking plot twists, and timely social commentary, Pride or Die is a compelling (almost) murder mystery that is at once unapologetically and delightfully queer. If you love stories about gay people solving crime, CL Montblanc’s debut is a must-read." –Victoria Wlosok, author of How to Find a Missing Girl
