THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, CASSIE PARKER

A companion novel to DRIVE ME CRAZY in which a 12-year-old's highly embarrassing private diary falls into the hands of the popular girls, after which her own best friend betrays her, and that's only the start to the drama.

Fiona and Cassie have been best friends since they met at camp years ago. They have always loved the same things: elaborate art projects, writing plays together, and scheming about ways to learn more about their crushes. Fiona likes that they do things together – they do not just gossip about people or look at their phones the whole time they are hanging out.

But lately, Cassie seems like she is drifting over to the popular crowd, and Fiona does not know how – and does not want – to follow to her. The way Cassie hangs on every word Kendra Mack (Queen of the Popular Girls) says makes Fiona roll her eyes, and she confides about it in her journal. Just when their best friendship seems to be hitting a breaking point, the unthinkable happens: Fiona’s journal is stolen. And read out loud on the bus.

But it gets worse: Cassie was there to hear Fiona’s private thoughts out loud, and she did not stop the popular kids. Fiona is furious, and decides to write Cassie off and chart her own path through the summer without her best friend. She will learn more about herself than ever before...but are some friendships worth saving, even if you have been hurt?
