The Ballad of the Brooding and the Basic

The Ballad of the Brooding and the Basic: A Hilariously Real Look at High School Drama (and Cafeteria Chilli)

Scarlett, a self-aware newcomer with a flair for the dramatic, navigates the chaotic world of Evermore High, a school populated by brooding bad boys, wannabe mean girls, and enough clichés to make a Wattpad author blush. As she unexpectedly falls into the orbit of Adrian Thorne, the resident emo musician with a hidden sense of humor, Scarlett finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about high school stereotypes, cafeteria food, and maybe even love. But with lurking secrets, social media manipulation, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, Scarlett's journey through the absurdities of high school life is anything but ordinary.
