Heathers meets The Devil Wears Prada...

Fashion editor Anya St. Clair is on the verge of greatness. Her wardrobe is to die for. Her social media is killer. And her career path is littered with the bodies of anyone who got in her way. She’s worked hard to get where she is, but she doesn’t have everything. Not like Sarah Taft. Anya’s obsession sits one desk away. Beautiful, stylish, and rich, she was born to be a fashion world icon. From her beach-wave blonde hair to her on-trend nail art, she’s a walking editorial spread. And Anya wants to be her friend. Her best friend. Her only friend. But when Sarah becomes her top competition for a promotion, Anya’s plan to win her friendship goes into overdrive. In order to beat Sarah…she’ll have to become her. Friendly competition may turn fatal, but as they say in fashion: One day you’re in, and the next day you’re dead.

Because once your family thinks you’re the source of all things wrong, you can never convince them otherwise.

Amina Akhtar, Almost Surely Dead

[random-bookquotes]

You may think your thoughts will be different as you’re dying. But they won’t be, not really. Maybe you’ll wish you’d had more fun, loved more. I wished this would all be over, and death said, Sure, why not. Death is funny like that.

[random-bookquotes]

No one ever tells you how to get through grief, how to not let it take over your life. Because it does. Every part of your life is hit. And sometimes, just when you think you’re turning a corner, months after your loved one died, you get hit by something new all over again. It doesn’t stop. You just have to learn how to live with it, until the pain of them not being in your life anymore becomes a dull ache.

How do you grieve someone who hated you? I wasn’t sure how to, but I was trying.
