“At just 21, Bleidner brings a wise-beyond-her-years wit and perspective to her writing that makes her work feel just as worthy as that of any wizened memoirist . . . a hilarious and poignant exploration of the Gen Z high school experience.”

“The switched-on social set will find this [colorful debut] full of charm. Readers will be eager to see where Bleidner goes next.”

“A unique memoir that is replete with wit, candor, humor, and sharp observations. A fun, fascinating, and thought-provoking read from first page to last.”

“Whether it be driver’s test anxiety or prom dress distress, teens share a core set of generational stressors—except for the students of Calabasas High School. The youngsters of the infamous Los Angeles enclave navigate a very different set of adolescent issues. . . . Bleidner offers an unfiltered, thoughtful, and witty insider’s perspective on the suburb that birthed the Kardashian-Jenners and the Bling Ring, and examines the ugly underbelly of fame.”
