Publisher Description
A gripping, gender-flipped reimagining of The Outsiders that explores the deep bonds of female friendship and what it takes to be a "bad girl"1964. Houston, Texas. Evie Barnes is a bad girl. So are all her friends. They’re the sort who wear bold makeup, laugh too loud, and run around with boys. Most of all, they protect their own against the world. So when Evie is saved from a sinister encounter by a good girl from the “right” side of the tracks, every rule she’s always lived by is called into question. Now she must redefine what it means to be a bad girl and rethink everything she knew about loyalty. In this riveting story of murder, secrets, and tragedy, Jennifer Mathieu puts a female twist on S. E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. Bad Girls Never Say Die has all the drama and heartache of that teen classic but with a feminist take just right for our times.
