Wouldn't it be nice to know what everyone is really thinking? What's truly important to them? Who they like? Who they don't? What's true and what's not? Who they are when nobody's watching? Their deepest, darkest secrets?
When two fourteen-year-olds take a walk in the woods on the first day of summer, only one comes back alive. The resultant guilt consumes Persephone Smith and causes her to withdraw into an isolated world of silence and black clothing, and the kids at school jeer, "Dead Girl." Her friends and family members have opposing views about ways to help her through her grief, but she remains at the center of their lives. Alas, her self-imposed prison renders those who love her helpless as they watch her make horrific decisions that could bring her to the same fate as her friend. In a world where angels, dragons, and unicorns exist, Persephone's naturally powerful allies will need to will or cast a happy and magical resolution before she completely self-destructs.
Life doesn't stop for death, but it does change everything for those who are left behind.
Wicked Confessions provides an abundance of transparency and insight into Persephone Smith's family, friends, fair-weather friends, and even foes. It picks up her story about a year after Wicked Dramatic ends, when the innocence of Diversity Middle School is only a distant memory. Sophomore year at Red Clover High School brings a whole new set of predicaments, dangers, heartbreaks, decisions, and jubilations. Some of the kids begin to drive, reach the age when their friendships are more valued than their families, embark on secret and not-so-secret romances, and occasionally, discover that the line between life and death can blur.
Join the people who know fourteen-year-old Persephone best as they share their wicked confessions (colorful language included) and say farewell forever to – not one, but – two of their Wicked Normal loved ones.
Wicked Confessions is the first Young Adult novel in this series.
