Houston, Texas. Evie Barnes is a bad girl. So are all her friends. They're the sort who wear bold makeup, laugh too loud, and run around with boys. Most of all, they protect their own against the world. So when Evie is saved from a sinister encounter by a good girl from the "right" side of the tracks, every rule she's always lived by is called into question. Now she must redefine what it means to be a bad girl and rethink everything she knew about loyalty. In this riveting story of murder, secrets, and tragedy, Jennifer Mathieu puts a female twist on S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders. Bad Girls Never Say Die has all the drama and heartache of that teen classic, but with a feminist take just right for our times.

Moxie-jenter slår tilbake! Vivian Carter er drittlei. Hun er lei av skolens ledelse som ikke tror at guttene på fotball-laget kan gjøre noe galt. Hun er lei av kjønnsdiskriminerende kleskoder, trakassering og grove kommentarer fra guttene. Men mest lei er hun av å være den som alltid gjør det som er riktig og det som forventes av henne. Moren til Vivian var en tøffing da hun var på Vivians alder. Hun var punker og Riot Grrl, og lagde opprørske fanziner. Og Vivian blir inspirert til å lage Moxie, en feminist-fanzine som hun distribuerer anonymt på skolen. Hun trenger bare å gjøre noe og få ut litt damp, men responsen vokser, og Moxie blir snart et begrep. Etter hvert blir Vivian kjent med jenter på skolen på tvers av klikker og plass på popularitetsskalaen, og hun skjønner at hun rett og slett har startet en revolusjon. Det er på tide å slåss. Jentene gjør opprør!
