“In the enthralling A Little Bit Bad, a feisty true-crime obsessive’s erotic awakening in the canyons of California embroils her in her very own murder mystery. Pretty much  the platonic-ideal beach read.”
— Ada Calhoun, New York Times bestselling author of Crush

A Little Bit Bad has been selected as Kirkus’ Hottest Read of the Summer, as well as one of the LA Times’ “Ten Books to Read in May.”
