"Johnston is at her best sinking her pen into the guts and glory of girlhood and
Pretty Furious is Johnston at her truth-telling best. A novel about the painful intricacies of small-town life, the hurt of growing up and seeing the hypocrisy in others, and the power of female friendship." --Tess Sharpe, author of
The Girls I've Been "Short and to the point, the story packs a punch with direct prose and strong-willed characters. Add this issue-driven contemporary novel to teen collectionsfor readers who enjoy revenge plots and books like Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian's
Burn for Burn."--Booklist "What begins as a passing frustration turns into a full-fledged vigilante mission when five best friends make birthday wishes to challenge the narrow-minded viewpoints of their small Canadian town in this feminist thriller."--
PW "Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a fantasy novel bc a girl in rural Ontario gets an abortion and no one judges her.
Pretty Furious is the companion horror."--@stellarbeesreads
