New York Times�bestselling author Gigi Levangie Grazer returns withSeven Deadlies, a witty and wildly different novel set amid the sinful reaches of Beverly Hills, narrated by a captivating, gimlet-eyed Mexican-American heroine.
Perry Gonzalez is not like the other kids in her Beverly Hills high school—a full-blooded Latina on a scholarship, living in a tiny apartment with her mother, she doesn’t have much in common with the spoiled, privileged kids who are chauffeured to school every morning. But Perry is a budding young writer with her sights set on Bennington—and her seven deadly stories are her ticket to the Ivory Tower. To pay her way, Perry’s been babysitting (correction: teenage-sitting) and tutoring the neighborhood kids, and she has seen the dark side of adolescence: lust for the “Judas Brothers” that leads to electrocution at a private birthday party concert; wrath that inspires new and perverse family bonds; and greed, in a young Bernie Madoff acolyte who conceives of a copycat Ponzi scheme involving his own grandmother.
Gigi (author of bestsellers like THE STARTER WIFE and MANEATER) is known for her hilarious insider skewering of the over-privileged and overindulged, and this time around she’s set her sights on a particularly wicked bunch: teenagers in Beverly Hills.
Check out the trailer below.
Weee! I'm so excited to read this! I loved her previous book, The After Wife, it's tongue in cheek humor. I think this is another parody or something but darker. I love messed up stories like this.
