And as the body count keeps climbing, the friends realise that one of their group must be the killer - and they need to watch their backs.

Murder On A School Night
The Funniest YA Crime Thriller of 2023
Sex Education meets A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder in this darkly hilarious YA murder mystery by Comedy Women in Print Prize and Carnegie Medal nominated author, Kate Weston.
There’s never a good time to find a dead body. But finding a dead body while you’re trying to kiss your crush?
Dead awkward.
All Kerry wants to do is stay at home with her rom-coms and strict retainer schedule. Instead, her BFF Annie has roped her into going to their first sixth-form party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school.
On the cusp of kissing her dreamy crush, Scott, Kerry discovers the body of Heather's second in command – suffocated with a menstrual cup. Within days, another student turns up dead, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes. Now Annie and Kerry are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.
“This book will make you laugh out loud,”
“Holly Bourne fans should love this uproarious debut by standup comic Weston”
Diary of a Confused Feminist
Meet Kat Evans: Feminist. Overthinker. Hot mess.
A hilarious antidote to our Insta-perfect world, Diary of a Confused Feminist is for girls who want to do it right but always feel they’re getting it wrong …
15-year-old Kat wants to do GOOD FEMINISM, although she’s not always sure what that means. She also wants to be a writer, get together with Hot Josh (is this a feminist ambition?), win at her coursework and not make a TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT of herself at all times.
But the path to true feminism is filled with mortifying incidents, muddling moments and Instagram hell. And it doesn’t help that Hot Josh is just, well, properly, distractingly hot.
And when everything at school starts to get a bit too much, Kat knows she’s lost her way, and the only way forward is to ask for help …
Bold, authentic and laugh-out-loud funny, Kat’s diary fearlessly navigates her way through life, love and teenage anxiety.
“Diary of a Confused Feminist was one of last year’s funniest books and this sequel promises more of the same as Kat continues her (largely) disastrous attempts to launch a feminism society at her college”
Must Do Better
Meet Kat Evans: Feminist. Overthinker. Hot mess.
A hilarious antidote to our Insta-perfect world, for girls who want to do it right but always feel they’re getting it wrong …
16-year-old Kat has suffered through mortifying incidents, muddling moments and Instagram hell – but her extreme teenage confusion isn’t over yet.
It’s a new term, and Kat is determined to spread the word about DOING GOOD FEMINISM to all her fellow students. But her new Feminist Society does not exactly go to plan (why is everyone more confused than she is?!) and she’s left feeling more of a failure than ever. And with best friends Millie and Sam both going through difficult times, Kat wants to be there for them.
But there’s a class trip to France to look forward to, and a reunion with Kat’s former fling and TOTAL DREAMBOAT Sébastien. This is exactly what they all need … until Kat’s plans begin to unravel.
If Kat is doing her best, why does she always feel as if she must do better?
Fearlessly navigating school, mental health and relationships, Kate Weston is a hilarious new voice for those who love Holly Bourne and Netflix’s Sex Education.
