Escape Theory

Praise for Escape Theory

A 2014 Anthony Award Best Young Adult Novel Nominee

“Escape Theory is a riveting psychological journey—Margaux Froley truly nails it. The characters sing on the pages, the mystery leaves you breathless, and the world is spooky but recognizable—you feel like you’re in the thick of things with Devon every step of the way. I will never think of Nutter Butters the same again, and I can’t wait for the next Keaton School installment!”
—Sara Shepard New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars

“A sexy, smart, page turner, a must read!”
—Octavia Spencer, Academy Award winning star of The Help

“Escape Theory kept me up way past curfew, with no regrets.”
—Cecily von Ziegesar, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gossip Girl

“A suspenseful, psychologically complex drama of teenage angst and sexuality.”
—New York Journal of Books

“This is Froley’s first novel and I can’t wait for her to bring another book out. I loved the strong lead characters and finally a teen girl who doesn’t give everything up for the perfect guy—Devon’s guy is far from it. If you like a mystery, a good teen story or a bunch of very different characters, this is for you.”
—The Guardian

“Gossip Girl goes West Coast … [Devon] opens a Veronica Mars-style investigation that uncovers a web of secrets and lies.”
—Justine Magazine

“A stellar debut…. With a heady mix of mystery and emotional turmoil, Froley gives readers compelling character development.”

“Veronica Mars meets Nancy Drew… This fast-paced novel weaves emotionally rich characters into a complex web of unspoken rules and painful secrets, including love, betrayal, and a deeply entrenched system of pharmaceutical abuse among Keaton’s students.”
—School Library Journal
 
“Froley infuses this story with layered and interesting characters that keep the reader guessing [about]…. the super-rich, complicated student body of Keaton School. If this debut novel is any indication of the quality of those to succeed it, the series should have a great following.”
—VOYA
