Pride or Die

Montblanc, CL. Pride or Die. 2025. 336p. ISBN 9781250340474.


Eleanora Finkel, a seventeen-year-old senior, dreams of escaping her small bigoted Texas town, but her plans are derailed when she becomes a prime suspect in the attempted murder of Kenley, her school's head cheerleader. Adding insult to injury, her LGBTQ+ teen club, a vital safe space for her and her friends, is also under scrutiny. To clear their names and protect their sanctuary, Eleanora, Salim, Tyler and Noah decide to take on the role of amateur detectives, a daunting task considering their lack of experience and Eleanora's crippling anxiety.

Despite the challenges, including Eleanora's distracting attraction to Kenley and the inadequacy of her crochet hook as a weapon, this ragtag group of misfits dives headfirst into the investigation. They must navigate a web of secrets and lies as the principal seeks to expel them from school, while facing the very real possibility that the real culprit is still lurking among them, ready to strike again. The pressure mounts as they race against time to unravel this mystery of who would want to hurt Kenley. Can they determined  the true attacker before one of them becomes the next target?
