XO, Blake
before starting this novel.

), which takes place in present time.

For ‘Man Candy’ and fun quotes, tweet or Instagram with me @AveryAster while reading this story and let me know what you think. I swear on my lifetime supply of Diet Coke, I’ll follow ‘ya back.

A Coming of Age Poem

He told me I was beautiful

Mama said I was too young

My heart, filled with sadness

I’ve got nothing but money

Dressed in the finest clothes

Always wearing the fiercest shoes

Drinking hides my pain

Popping pills makes me numb

Thinking about my past mistakes kills me every time

Once I had the truest love

A handsome man

Together we made a baby girl

Now they’re both gone

I’m a broken bird

Don’t want to be a teenager anymore

Ugly on the inside

That’s where I’m filled with so much hurt

Just make it all stop

Bring it, Bitch!

“Let’s be clear here, people. Someone has been after us for a long time, and they want us dead. I won’t give up without a fight. Heck no! For protection, I’m getting myself a handgun that I’ll keep locked and loaded in my Fendi. No one will take us down. Ever!”—Taddy Brill,
Playboy
centerfold, college freshman.

From the Desk of Stockholm School for Girls

October 16, 1992

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Farnworth,

It’s an honor to have your daughter, Viveca—or as she likes to be called, Vive—at our school. However, over the last few weeks, we’ve caught her using profanity with the other students during recess, which is unusual for an eight-year-old.

For instance, when her teacher, Mrs. Skarsgård, told her it was time to come inside and get ready for arts and crafts, Vive flipped her the middle finger, telling her to “go fuck herself.”

When we asked Vive where she’d learned such vulgar language, she’d told us you allowed her to curse. Rest assured this type of talk is not welcome at our school. We pride ourselves on teaching students to express themselves without having to resort to such tactics.

Please modify this at home so it does not carry over to class. Thank you.

Yours fondly,

Principal Maud Lundgren
