The Implosion of Aggie Winchester

In a small town filled with secrets, Aggie Winchester is a girl facing a myriad of challenges beyond typical teenage drama.

“Proms and sparkly crowns are awesome, but finding out who you really are—with the help of friends and fam—is the best ‘last dance’ of all.”—Lauren Myracle, New York Times bestselling author of TTYL

Sixteen-year-old Aggie Winchester is that rare mix of Goth girl and principal’s kid—a rebel—or so she’d like to think. The truth is, she doesn’t know who she is or who she wants to be. She only knows she doesn’t want to be a target. Her dark makeup and clothes, along with her tough best friend, Sylvia, who bullies freshmen and cheerleaders alike, make Aggie feel safe. She doesn’t know what she’d do without Sylvia always having her back.

But when Sylvia finds herself pregnant and determined to turn her booty calls with the most popular boy in school into something real—like a family—Aggie finds herself utterly alone and, even worse, the target of her own best friend. Add to that an ex-boyfriend who maybe wants to get back together or maybe just wants to have sex; a new boy with equally unclear intentions; and her principal mom, who might be involved in the school scandal of the century, and Aggie’s having a trying junior year. In fact, she’s ready to implode.
