TRY YOUR WORST, OUT NOW

I Kissed Shara Wheeler meets The Agathas in this cozy mystery about two rivals forced to team up to figure out who is framing them for crimes they didn't commit.

Sadie Katz and Cleo Chapman have been rivals since birth. Literally. They entered the world competing to be the first baby born in the new year, a title Cleo ultimately won. And she’s been nonchalantly winning at just about everything since—much to Sadie’s chagrin. Now in the fall of their senior year, Sadie and Cleo are neck-and-neck for valedictorian. But when a string of increasingly serious pranks take over their school, the perpetrator deliberately sets up Sadie and Cleo to take the fall.

Suddenly expulsion is on the line, and the only way to clear their names is to join forces and search for the culprit. As their investigation progresses, the girls begin to question more than suspects. Sadie, struggling with depression and academic burn out, finds that her ivy league dream doesn’t seem as appealing as it once did.

Meanwhile, Cleo wonders if it's time she start fighting for what she wants, rather than passively accepting whatever comes easiest. With their futures on the line, the two grow closer, and both start to ask themselves: Are they really meant to be rivals? Or were they always destined to become something more?

Praise for Try Your Worst:

“This emotionally rich sapphic enemies-to-lovers tale by Greenfield (Time and Time Again) touches on serious subject matter including mental health and invisible illness. Lighthearted prose, good-natured humor, and rousing character dynamics temper these weighty themes across the girls’ uplifting emotional journeys and fulfilling romance.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“…the novel expertly explores disability and fatphobia, as well as how being marginalized in any way, much less multiple ways, has an effect on their “believability” as victims of the prankster. The mystery of the prankster is deftly woven throughout this charming romance between two sweet sapphics.” —Booklist, starred review
