Pitch:
Mean Girls for the burn-out era. A little Romy and
Michele’s High School Reunion, a little Euphoria-style chaos, some New
Girl banter, and Normal People longing, but with 1,000x more cursewords (an Aussie and a Kiwi author? WHAT DO YOU EVEN WANT FROM US???)
Plus, the
hottest male leads since whatever nostaglic media property first awakened 'THAT
FEELING' in you.
Tropes in Ada and Cece's High School Revenge:
- Two lovable female leads (with big feelings and bad mouths)
- Two dangerously sexy men who refuse to stay out of their way
- Small-town chaos
- “It’s always been you” energy x2
- Thoughtful autistic representation from an author who… Has
some diagnostic reports to show you. If you want them. (i.e. Eve 'Yes, I've walked on my toes since childhood, but that's, like, pretty common, yeah? Guys? Guys???' Dangerfield)
- Healing old wounds/found family
- A friendship that comes first, last, and always <3
Short blurb:
Cece Taylor and Ada Renaldo swore they’d never go back to their hometown, but when the high school celebration of the century rolls around, the girls decide the only way to return is with a revenge plan.
Cece’s going to dazzle everyone with her (not quite) successful bar, win the heart of her childhood crush, and finally step out of her big brother’s shadow.
Former professional flautist and current menace to society, Ada plans to get wasted and burn the place down. Emotionally. Socially. Maybe literally. It depends where the cameras are these days...
The problem is the men standing in their way. Cece’s brooding bouncer, Davis, is done admiring her from afar and has zero patience for her high school crush. Meanwhile, Ada can’t stir a speck of trouble without the town's golden boy, Jake Graves-Holland, making a move on her. And Lord does the man have moves.
As the reunion approaches, old scandals, bad memories, and terrible decisions start to spiral. Soon, only one thing is clear: nothing from high school stays buried. Not obsessions, not grudges, and especially not secrets.
