Confessions from the Group Chat

Virginia Vaughn is popular, pretty, and maybe not the nicest girl you've ever met. But when her ex-best-friends post her mean-girl texts online after a blowout fight, she's suddenly got no one but her cat to talk to.

Except for Grayson, the painfully unpopular boy she now sits with at lunch. For an uncool person, he's not that bad... in fact, when they start texting, talking, laughing, and sharing everything their lives, she realizes she actually really likes him. Likes him . . . a lot. Problem is, she's said some VERY mean things about him in the past. And she knows those texts will be posted online, too--any day now.

Leading Lines to Nowhere is a sweet, funny, and incredibly authentic novel about middle school misbehavior, innocent first love, and the inner life of a repentant mean girl. Sincere and endearingly messy, Jodi Meadows' latest middle grade novel is the perfect read for fans of Mean Girls.
