Debut coming-of-age novel from the "indelible, shrewd and frank and real" (Emily Gould) writer DAZED describes as "a combination of Denis Johnson and Joan Didion" It's 1997, and 14-year-old Juliet has it pretty good. But over the course of the next two years, she rapidly begins to unravel, finding herself in a downward trajectory of mental illness and self-destruction. An explosive portrayal of teenage life from the perspective of The Bad Friend, JULIET THE MANIAC is a bold, stylish breakout book from an author already crackling on the indie scene.
