How to be Bad

E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle have joined forces to write a great YA book - How to be Bad. Each author speaks for one of the three friends in the book - alternating by chapter - creating one story from three points of view.

Jesse and Vicks have been friends since they started working together at the restaurant they have nicknamed Awful Waffle. Lately other forces in their lives have put a strain on their friendship. When Jesse suggests a road trip to Miami to see Vicks boyfriends, Mel invites herself. Mel is new to Awful Waffle and Niceville, Florida. Jesse agrees to let her go because she offers to pay for most of the trip.

Once on the road, the plan is to stop at the exciting tourist attractions from Vicks' favorite book: Fanstastical Florida. Though their trip does not go according to the plan, the three friends have a great adventure and learn that no matter what else happens, they have each other.
