Feature Friday is a weekly post in which I highlight an upcoming release that I’m particularly looking forward to.

 

This week, my selection is…

 

The Takedown

 

By Corrie Wang

Expect Publication: April 11, 2017

From: Freeform

ISBN: 9781484757420

ASIN: B01MT87HJE

 

 

Goodreads Synopsis:

 

Kyla Cheng doesn’t expect you to like her. For the record, she doesn’t need you to. On track to be valedictorian, she’s president of her community club, a debate team champ, plus the yummy Mackenzie Rodriguez has firmly attached himself to her hip. She and her three high-powered best friends don’t just own their senior year at their exclusive Park Slope, Brooklyn high school, they practically define the hated species Popular. Kyla’s even managed to make it through high school completely unscathed.

 

Until someone takes issue with this arrangement.

 

A week before college applications are due, a video of Kyla “doing it” with her crush-worthy English teacher is uploaded to her school’s website. It instantly goes viral, but here’s the thing: it’s not Kyla in the video. With time running out, Kyla delves into a world of hackers, haters and creepy stalkers in an attempt to do the impossible-take something off the internet-all while dealing with the fallout from her own karmic footprint. Set in near-future Brooklyn, where privacy is a bygone luxury and every perfect profile masks damning secrets, The Takedown is a stylish, propulsive, and provocative whodunit, asking who would you rely on if your tech turned against you?

 

 

I like everything about this book. From the mosaic-like cover to the “Mean Girls” on steroids synopsis, this is definitely one I’m looking forward to.

 

That’s my pick, what’s yours? Leave it in the comments, or share a link to your WoW blog post.
