With its clever snark and searing perspective, Cancelled is a funny, fearless novel about the realistic pitfalls and unforgettable moments high school has to offer, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Emma Lord.

Not to brag, but Brynn Whittaker is basically killing her senior year. She's got the looks, the grades, and a thriving "flirt coach" business that will help pay for her ultimate dream school: Stanford University. 

But when a highly incriminating video goes viral after the first rager of the year, Brynn finds herself at the center of a school-wide scandal of catastrophic proportions. She knows she's not the girl in the video hooking up with her former best friend's boyfriend (While wearing a banana costume, no less. Hey, points for style), but adding that to her reputation of being a serial dater, she quickly starts losing friends and customers. On top of that, the scorn she receives exposes the culture of misogyny that is rampant at her school . . . and Brynn and her three best friends are determined to take down all the haters. 

But as she gets closer to identifying the person in the video that got her cancelled, Brynn must decide—is exposing the girl worth losing everything she's worked so hard for?

This witty, unapologetic novel by Farrah Penn boldly tackles the problematic double standards that seek to bring girls down, and shines a light on the loving, uplifting friendships that can help them make it through those brutal four years.

Praise for Cancelled


Praise for Farrah Penn's Twelve Steps to Normal:

* "Penn creates a realistic character in Kira, one who finely balances the rational thoughts of a child of addiction with the emotional struggles of a high school student. Kira's journey should speak to many teenage readers, even those who do not have firsthand experience with addiction or addicts . . . A smart recommendation for readers looking to escape into a substantive world of personal discovery." ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Twelve Steps to Normal is a searing, gut-punch of a story." ―Josh Sundquist, bestselling author of We Should Hang Out Sometime and Love and First Sight

"Funny, honest, and smart, Twelve Steps to Normal is filled with nuanced characters who you can't help caring about." ―Melina Marchetta, author of the Michael L. Printz Award–winning On the Jellicoe Road

"Penn nicely captures the all-consuming emotions of a teen wrestling life into some sort of order . . . Penn's note to the reader explains that she too had a father who suffered from alcoholism, and it's this loving, compassionate hindsight that will speak honestly to readers in the same situation." ―Booklist

"Twelve Steps to Normal is a powerful, heartfelt debut about the lengths we'll go for those we love, and the hurdles we encounter along the way." ―David Arnold, New York Times bestselling author of Mosquitoland

"Farrah Penn's debut, Twelve Steps to Normal, is a heartfelt story about the aftermath of addiction. Equal parts swoony and poignant, I couldn't help but cheer for her main character Kira as she tries to put her life back together in the wake of loss." ―Julie Buxbaum, New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things
