From the acclaimed author of Moxie comes a gripping gender-flipped reimagining of The Outsiders that explores the deep bonds of female friendship and what it takes to be a "bad girl." 1964. Houston, Texas. Evie Barnes is a bad girl. So are all her friends. They’re the sort who wear bold makeup, laugh too loud, and run around with boys. Most of all, they protect their own against the world. So when Evie is saved from a sinister encounter by a good girl from the "right" side of the tracks, every rule she's always lived by is called into question. Now she must redefine what it means to be a bad girl and rethink everything she knew about loyalty. In this riveting story of murder, secrets, and tragedy, Jennifer Mathieu puts a female twist on S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders. Bad Girls Never Say Die has all the drama and heartache of that teen classic, but with a feminist take just right for our times.

The world first met Ricki Lake in 1988 as Tracy Turnblad in the film Hairspray. Weighing in at just over 200 pounds, the 5'3" teenager challenged what it meant to be an overweight woman in America: this fat girl got the guy, was part of the in crowd, and could sing and dance like nobody was watching. When she got her own talk show at twenty-four, Ricki had been transformed. She was a slender, mature woman whose long-running show changed daytime television forever. And when Ricki left it all behind to follow her heart and produce The Business of Being Born, we once again saw her in a new light, as a passionate advocate who wasn’t afraid to stand up for her beliefs and work for change. Ricki Lake’s life has been a series of rebirths—from fat to skinny, married to divorced, rich to poor, and more. In her intimate, bold, and relatable book, Ricki shows us how her unique life in the spotlight offers wisdom to anyone who has ever struggled in her own skin. She takes us behind the scenes of her troubled childhood—filled with food issues, abuse, and an unabashed yearning for a better life outside of her suburban home. She pulls back the curtain on her talk show and her early days as a “fat actress,” and she shows how she reinvented herself as an author, filmmaker, and much beloved finalist on Dancing with the Stars. Ricki weathered near-bankruptcy and an extremely difficult divorce, but, as she writes, life always hands you the unexpected—so you should never say never. Much to her surprise, Ricki has dated some of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, appeared on the cover of Us Weekly magazine in a swimsuit, and fell in love when she least expected it. And now she’s ready to talk about it all. Never Say Never is an inspiring, entertaining, and down-to-earth account of one woman who defied the odds and refused to give up. By trusting her gut and following her heart, Ricki Lake turned an unconventional life into an unparalleled triumph, and this memoir stands as a hopeful, hilarious, and honest exploration of how any woman can do the same.

A fangirl tattoo artist finds herself falling head over heels for the client she never saw coming… Loud, brash, and tattooed Sophie Kincaid has always been the odd one out with her stylistic choices. She's as far from 'girlfriend-material' as can be, and she has no idea why that upon meeting calm, stoic and beautiful Tommy (aka Russia) Ivanov that she wants to hold that role in his life. It could be the fact that despite his impeccable style he doesn't look at her like she's some party girl only looking for a good time, or maybe because he seems genuinely interested about her work, about her as a person. Maybe it's the fact that Sophie always goes after what she wants, even if she can't have it. When Russia's past comes calling, Sophie has to wonder if the quiet, controlled and image-conscious man will fight to have her in his life. Can Sophie find love with a man who seems to be her total opposite?

"The most important book since the Bible." -Jesus "If I didn't read Never Say Never, I would have never tried to suck my own dick." -Joe Rogan "Matthew Perry didn't read Never Say Never and he was killed by Hillary Clinton" -Alex Jones "Never Say Never inspires people to follow their dreams, no matter how completely and utterly stupid they are." -Joey Chestnut Dr. Brandon Day is very good friend of mine and an inspiration to us all, not like that loser Sleepy Joe Biden or Ron Desanctimonious. Dr. Brandon Day is like a white Rosa Parks. If he had a pussy, I would definitely grab it. I would grab that big, fat, beautiful pussy of his. That is how good his new book is. Never Say Never inspired me to run for re-election in 2024, even though everyone knows then 2020 election was rigged. -Donald J. Trump Life coach, influencer, activist, and bestselling author, Brandon Day, teaches us what it takes live his best life as he chronicles his own personal struggles with student loans, bad credit, jerk bosses, teachers, cable companies, neighbors, his parents, chores, being broke, his ex-wife, and even his own children to learn how to live out the classic cliche, "Never Say Never!" -Book Review Journal I always hated being an adult. I resented the idea of being so caught up in grown-up stuff like forgetting to pay my bills, finding socks that matched, and lying about why I was late for work that I lost sight of everything that ever made me happy as a child. I gave up on popping wheelies. I stopped ding-dong ditching, and I didn't even think spitballs or really loud farts were as funny as they used to be. I hadn't drawn a dick on something in years, and I couldn't even remember the last time I threw a party at my parent's house when they weren't home, or when I had sex with a sixteen-year-old girl in the back seat of my mom's car. By my 40th birthday, I was completely broken, and just a shell of that spry boy who left the loudest farts in the 5th grade. Shortly after I graduated college, I needed to find a fucking job and move the hell out so I could start paying my own goddamn bills already. At least that's what my parents were always telling me. What my parents didn’t understand was that I was a Psychology major, and Psychology majors don’t do stuff like get good jobs or move out of their parents’ house. With a shitty college major, and not enough charm or good looks to enter the lucrative world of pharmaceutical sales like my mom and dad wanted me to, it looked like I was destined to smoke pot all day and live with my parents forever. But with a little luck and a fuckload of white privilege, my life is finally on the right track. I healed the damaged relationship with my father, even though he could be a real dick sometimes. I also awakened my inner child. Now I am the same fun-loving, happy-go-lucky child who used to masturbate five times a day and played with matches. I have dental insurance, an amicable divorce, and two kids who aren't in therapy yet. I am even back to drawing dicks on people’s stuff at work again. Let’s just say my life turned out exactly as I planned, and it's all because I never stopped saying never, and you shouldn't either." -Author of Never Say Never, Dr. Brandon Day
