"For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Juliet the Maniac is a worthy new entry in that pantheon of deconstruction... Dazzling."--NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWThis portrait of a young teenager's fight toward understanding and recovering from mental illness is shockingly honest, funny, and heartfelt. Ambitious, talented fourteen-year-old honors student Juliet is poised for success at her Southern California high school. However, she soon finds herself in an increasingly frightening spiral of drug use, self-harm, and mental illness that lands her in a remote therapeutic boarding school, where she must ultimately find the inner strength to survive. A highly anticipated debut--from a writer hailed as "a combination of Denis Johnson and Joan Didion" (Dazed)--that brilliantly captures the intimate triumph of a girl's struggle to become the woman she knows she can be.
