A Long Stretch of Bad Days — Mindy McGinnis. Not every school can be expertly run—for Lydia and Bristal, that fact threatens their graduation, however, and they’re pissed. Not only because they have to make up a history credit before senior year is over, but also because they notoriously don’t get along.
Regarding your poll, I am full blown Team Backlist! And I'm so happy to see how many others agree on the poll. New releases are nice, but I'm a broke-as-a-joke college student and it's much easier to get a hold of backlist titles at the library than new releases. Plus, I find there are FAR more interesting books on the backlist than I was hearing about back when they were new releases. With publishing houses being even more picky about what titles they heavily promote there are so many books left ignored. Those are the ones I often enjoy most and I don't hear about them until years after they were published! Backlist titles deserve more love!
Oh my gosh I feel the exact same way! I worry sometimes backlist is too “off trend” and wonder if other readers care but I love browsing the library and finding a good older book no one is talking about and getting other people excited about reading it!
I love books with a podcast element or some kind of interesting way of storytelling! I've never heard of this book/author before so I'll be sure to check them out!
I finished reading this a week or so ago and sadly, it didn't really hit for me :/ I got bored about half way thru but when the action started picking up towards the end I was more into it but unfortunately only a 2 star for me. Might look into some of her other books to try !
Sorry this one didn't work for you! (But that's also what I love about books — that there's so many and some people love and others find other books to love! There's always something out there for everyone!) I'd recommend going with Female of the Species or This Initial Insult: those are two of her most popular!

She’s an incredible writer, and even her earlier works hold up!

Your description of this book kind of gave me a YA version of I Have Some Questions For You vibes. Does that seem accurate or am I off the mark?
I got the same vibe. I loved that book! Gonna def add this one to my want to read list
A little bit, but more action in the present day with this one I think!
Also backlist!
I want to hear about the recent new releases that I have been on the fence about, or just never got around to reading!
I’m a sucker for podcast elements! Def adding to my list. And thank you for the animal cw
Also a fan of the backlist recs! So many good books out there!
Excited to read this one!
