Publisher Description
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Life takes a dramatic turn for 15-year-old Hailey Harper, who is used to feeling "Ugly, uninformed and completely lost in a world where superficial bitches reigned supreme," when her family's cross-country move to Hollywood coincides with the discovery of her "perfect" older sister's diary, "How to Be a Hater." Using its snarky advice as a "roadmap to cool," Hailey infiltrates her new school's popular clique, then ditches them to form her own group of quirky, artistic "Invisibles." Adult author Crane's first YA novel dives into the world of teenage nastiness, exacerbated by near-instant replays on social media, as rival groups seek to outdo each other's increasingly cruel pranks. Hailey's conversational, humorous narrative voice persuasively conveys the inner struggles of a girl trying to find her place in the world, while simultaneously building apprehension as her distorted reasoning and actions threaten to betray her core values and real friends. With a personable protagonist and cast of complex supporting characters, Crane's enjoyable, suspenseful coming-of-age novel captures the thrills, chills, highs, and lows of high school. Ages 13 up.
