From the author of Layoverland comes another bitingly clever, laugh-out-loud funny novel, about a group of teen girls going up against an exploitative megachurch in their small Montana town.
The only thing Genesis, Holly and Zoe seem to have in common is being stuck in Violet, Montana. Well, that and the fact that Hope Harvest Ministries is trying to ruin their lives.
Genesis lives on a commune that is now an echo of the New Age cult it once was. Sheβs witnessed power couple Pastor Jay and Ree Reaps transform their sleepy small town into a haven for online Influencers, who flock to Violet, Bible in one hand and Reeβs bestselling ACT LIKE A LADY, PRAY LIKE A BOSS in the other. Now, the Reaps have decided itβs Godβs Willβ’ that they take over Genβs ranch.
Holly is a begrudging tourist, forced to spend the summer with her estranged father as punishment for her unsavory behavior back in LA. To Holly, Hope Harvest is nothing but a gimmicky marketing ploy, but itβs threatening to put her fatherβs diner out of business and, for some reason, Holly cares.
All Zoe wants is to leave Violet, working thankless shifts at the diner to scrape together enough cash to start a new life with her girlfriend. But Zoeβs mother has lost everything to the churchβs multilevel marketing schemes so the little money that Zoe manages to make goes right to debt collectors.
The only solution to their problems is to scam the scammers and protect whatβs theirs. It shouldnβt take much β the Reapsβ golden son, an accidental kidnapping, some light blackmail β and the Reapsβ fortune will be in the girlsβ much more deserving hands. As long as everything goes according to planβ¦
