A CALIBA GOLDEN POPPY AWARD FINALIST
“Alanna Bennett has been one of my favorite voices for a long time now. Her work is thoughtful, joyful, and necessary. The Education of Kia Greer feels like a gift.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
“A must-read for pop heads, reality bingers, blind item guessers, and anyone who’s ever owned a Kylie Lip Kit. Kia Greer pulls you into the hyperreality and humanity of fame like an irresistible celebrity memoir. Kia [is] a girl in glittering shadow, full of resilience and vulnerability, always looked at but never seen. This book is smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive.” — Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue
“An absolute knockout of a debut. Heartfelt, wildly clever, and deeply relatable, Kia is a must-read coming-of-age story about finding your voice in a world determined to take it from you, and how love—messy, beautiful, and complicated—shapes every step of the way.” —Emma Lord, New York Times bestselling author of You Have a Match and Tweet Cute
“Heartfelt, funny, romantic, and insightful at the same time, The Education of Kia Greer is a delicious read that should come with a warning label because it kept me turning pages way past my bedtime. I cared so much about these characters – and you will, too.” —Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and Enchanted To Meet You
“At once warm and incisive, meticulously exploring first love, heartbreaks, and joy with a gentle tenderness that belies a vigorous understanding of the nuances of a heart. A coming of age must read.” —Bolu Bablola, New York Times Bestselling author of Honey and Spice
“A lovely coming-of-age story that explores family, fame, and self with a sweet and spicy romance as the cherry on top.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[A]n insightful narrative that balances hidden-camera drama with bittersweet epiphany.” —Publishers Weekly
“Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, readers of People magazine and gossip sites, and fans of celebrity memoirs about growing up famous or with a mom/manager figure.” —School Library Journal
