Used to Be

Enjoy two wise and witty stories from Eileen Cook in one great book! In The Education of Hailey Kendrick, Hailey is tired of always doing exactly what's expected of her. She's going to prove she's not perfect by breaking a very big rule in a very public way...with a very unexpected partner in crime. When Hailey gets caught, she loses everything—her best friend, her boyfriend, her popularity, her reputation. Now Hailey is up for anything...maybe even the boy she never noticed before. But even with her new bad girl image, she still has to ask herself: How far is too far? In Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood, Lauren and Helen used to be best friends...until Lauren betrayed Helen in a manner so publicly humiliating that Helen had to move to a new town just to save face. Now Helen is back, and she's planning to bring down her former BFF by taking away everything that's ever been important to Lauren—starting with her boyfriend. Watch out, Lauren Wood. Things are about to get bitchy.

Eileen Cook spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer. She is the author of The Almost Truth, Unraveling Isobel, The Education of Hailey Kendrick, Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood, and What Would Emma Do? as well as the Fourth Grade Fairy series. She lives in Vancouver with her husband and dogs. Visit her at EileenCook.com.
