New York Times bestselling author Brittany Cavallaro delivers the thrilling conclusion to her YA duology set in a reimagined American monarchy about a girl fighting for her own freedom, trying to change the government from within . . . or burn it all down.
For the first time in her life, Claire Emerson isn't under a man's control. She's escaped from her dangerous father, and her fiancé, Governor Remy Duchamp, is too weak to rule. All eyes fall on Claire—and the power she could wield.
But that power is precarious as she and Remy are leading St. Cloud in exile after the General's attempted coup. And when King Washington descends on the small province, he brings with him his baseball team, Claire's brother, and a proximity to power Claire has never dreamed of.
With few allies to support her, she determines her best chance at survival is earning the King's good graces. Claire's schemes quickly get out of hand, reminding her that it isn't about who holds the power. It's about a system that grants such power to a select few, and the men who built it that way. Claire isn't anyone's muse, and if she can't fix the system from within, she's determined to be the spark of revolution in the First American Kingdom.

What reviewers said
PRAISE FOR HELLO GIRLS: “The girls’ voices are authentic, and readers will enjoy a feeling of female empowerment as they follow them on their road trip . . . Drawing inspiration from Thelma & Louise, this book provides a fun, fast-paced plot with resourceful feminist protagonists.”
“If Gillian Flynn decided to write a YA novel, it might go something like this . . . Cavallaro and Henry write with sharp, crisp voices, imbuing their heroines with wit and outsized imagination. They capture the idiosyncrasies of young female friendship with startling acuity, nailing the deep care and love of these relationships... A novel that taps into something elemental about the ferocity of female adolescence and luxuriates in that space to create a page-turning tale with a potent electric current at its heart.”
“Fans of nonstop action will enjoy the collaborative novel’s unrelenting pace.”
“A wild ride that finds its footing in the deep bonds of friendship.”
“A witty, sharply-observed critique of patriarchal norms . . . a fierce celebration of the power of female friendship... smart, fast-paced, and immensely enjoyable . . . perfect for fans of Jeff Zentner’s Rayne and Delilah’s Midnight Matinee or Kody Keplinger’s Run.”
“It’s easy to draw parallels between Hello Girls and other dark girl-power comedies like Thelma and Louise, but Cavallaro and Henry offer something extra in Lucille and Winona’s relationship . . . The high stakes come across as genuine and realistic, and the girls tackle their traumas with grit and humor. Readers will find comfort in the resilience of the characters and the strength of their friendship.”
