High school was pretty much like this huge party I wasn't actually invited to, but I still had to show up to every day. Hailey Harper has always felt invisible. Now her dad has a new job and the family is moving to Hollywood. Just what Hailey needs: starting a new high school.
As she's packing, Hailey finds a journal that belonged to her older sister, Noel, who is away at college. Called "How to be a Hater," it's full of info Hailey can really use. Has Hailey found the Bible of Coolness? Will it help her reinvent herself at her new school? Will her crush notice her? Will she and the other Invisibles dethrone the popular mean girls? After all, they deserve it. Don't they?
In Confessions of a Hater, Caprice Crane's funny-and deeply felt-observations about high school, bullies, popularity, friendship, and romance will leave teens thinking...and talking.
"A winning hybrid of Mean Girls, Revenge of the Nerds and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Expertly disguised beneath layers of snark and humour is an earnest challenge to the prevailing assumption that settling scores is always justified."
Postmedia News
"Even for adults looking back, there's a certain comfort in the dissection of the mean girl enterprise and the kind of empowerment in seeing a new generation rebel against it. The questions Crane…address[es] don't get answered neatly and tied up with a bow upon graduation, and perhaps that's why [the novel is] so enjoyable even to those who've crossed that threshold."
The New York Times
"A poignant, hilarious, and always-realistic portrait of teen angst and high school bullying. In Hailey Harper, Caprice Crane has created another heroine worth rooting for, along with a colorful supporting cast and a few mean girls that readers will love to hate. Don't miss this fresh and funny coming-of-age story!"
Emily Giffin, national bestselling author of Where We Belong and Something Borrowed
