It’s fall here! It’s not quite cool enough for sweaters, but it’s coming. I’m soooo close to being able to deploy that cat sweater I knit in the spring.
Hmm. Since CONFESSIONS FROM THE GROUP CHAT features a cat (her name is Lady Zooms-a-Lot, but her friends call her Zooms), maybe I should aim for a release day photo with that. Virginia would be so jealous of my sweater if she knew.
Anyway, just a quick note this morning: There’s a giveaway for CONFESSIONS FROM THE GROUP CHAT over on Goodreads! Heads up, this giveaway is US only.
Want another shot at getting the book early? You can request the eARC on NetGalley here.
CONFESSIONS FROM THE GROUP CHAT comes out on October 21!
What happens in the group chat stays in the group chat… until it doesn’t.
Virginia Vaughn just wants to fit in with her super-popular friend group. That means she doesn’t let them know how much she loves the library, she never speaks a word about her massive crush on tragically unpopular Grayson, and she says nasty things she doesn’t actually mean. But only in the group chat, so it’s harmless, right?
But when she has a blowout fight with her clique—specifically, with the Queen Bee herself—her mean texts are posted online for the entire school to see! And, suddenly, Virginia has no one but her cat to talk to.
Cue "Knight Errant," a mystery boy at school who texts Virginia by accident—and who quickly becomes her closest confidante. Though they send messages back and forth for hours every night, Virginia doesn’t want him to know which classmate she is (because then he’ll connect her to the mean texts ALL OVER THE INTERNET). She likes him, but she really likes Grayson, too. Can she find the strength to tell Knight who she really is? And will Grayson—who has become her only ally at school—give up on her when the awful things she’s said about him are finally posted?
Confessions from the Group Chat is the second middle-grade romcom from New York Times bestselling author Jodi Meadow (BYE FOREVER, I GUESS; MY LADY JANE, now streaming on Prime). Sweet, funny, and authentically messy, this is an ultra-cute story about middle-school misbehavior, innocent first love, and the inner life of a repentant mean girl.
