MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS

MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS is set at an elite Boston preparatory school and tells the story of two "mostly good girls," Violet Tunis and Katherine Cabot Putnam, whose friendship is jeopardized when they are threatened with expulsion for their role in a major school scandal in their junior year and only one of the two girls is willing to apologize and make good. It offers a comedic contrast to Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep and is written in the tradition of E. Lockhart's The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks.

Leila Sales grew up outside Boston, where she attended an all-girls high school uncannily similar to the school in MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS. She went on to the University of Chicago, where she won the Olga and Paul Menn Foundation Prize for fiction writing. Since graduating in 2006 she has lived in Brooklyn and worked at Penguin Young Readers Group. Her humorous essays have appeared in the New York Press, Boston's Weekly Dig, The Chicago Maroon, and elsewhere. Leila has been an improv comedian and an internationally award-winning debater, but mostly she spends her time receiving unsolicited text messages from strangers, which you can read about at http://theleilatexts.blogspot.com.
