Synopsis:

Jenny Han meets Mean Girls in Freddie and Stella Got Hot, Maggie Horne’s YA rom-com about getting revenge and falling in love.

By the time the Beaumont-Gardiner Award is announced, everyone’s going to hate Levi Preston. And they’re going to love us.

Freddie and Stella are on a mission: take down their former best friend turned queen bee Levi Preston by depriving her of the one thing she wants more than anything: The Beaumont-Gardiner Award. Only the coolest, smartest, and – let’s face it – hottest girls win . . . so Freddie and Stella are going to have to get a whole lot cooler, smarter, and hotter.

At first, it seems to work – Freddie and Stella slowly manage to worm their way in with the cool girls. With every shopping date, agonizing salon appointment, and hot yoga class, the girls get closer to the in-crowd and Levi fades more and more into the background. The higher they rise, though, the more uneasy Freddie starts to feel. Stella’s gone from her lovable, goofy best friend to someone she barely recognizes, using her newfound power for evil at every opportunity. Soon, Freddie realizes she’s created a monster – and she needs Levi’s help to put a stop to it.

Maggie Horne is a writer and editor who grew up near Toronto, Canada and now lives in the UK with her wife and a collection of dogs and children. The author of middle grade novels HAZEL HILL IS GONNA WIN THIS ONE (an Indies Introduce Summer/Fall 2022 Selection and a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection) and NOAH FRYE GETS CRUSHED from Clarion Books, as well as the YA novel DON’T LET IT BREAK YOUR HEART from Feiwel and Friends, Maggie is always trying to write the queer stories she wishes she could have read growing up.
