About this listen
In this delightful dark comedy debut, when the members of an LGBTQ+ club find themselves accidentally framed for attempted murder, it's up to them to clear their names before it's too late.
It’s kind of hard to graduate high school when you’re the prime suspect in an attempted murder.
Seventeen-year-old Eleanora Finkel just wants to finish her senior year and get the hell out of Texas. But when her LGBTQ+ club meeting inconveniently coincides with an attack on the school’s head cheerleader, she and her friends find themselves in the hot seat.
In order to clear their names and ensure the survival of their club for future queer teens, they’ll have to track down the real culprit themselves. Unfortunately, Eleanora is far from a professional detective; she’s riddled with anxiety, annoyingly attracted to the case’s cute victim, and her trusty crochet hook feels insufficient for fighting off a killer. But if her chaotic friend group can't sleuth their way out of an entire freaking murder mystery, they might just become the next targets.

“Timely, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, PRIDE OR DIE is the kind of book I wish I had as a queer teenager growing up in a conservative state. Truly, this book has everything: attempted murder, gay chaos, and some of the most charming and relatable friendship dynamics I’ve ever read about. CL Montblanc is one to watch.”–Kayla Cottingham, author of This Delicious Death
“With a loveable, wacky friend group, a sweet, budding sapphic romance, and an absolutely killer voice, PRIDE OR DIE is a masterful genre blend. This suspenseful delight of a book shows the importance of identity acceptance and brings ‘be gay, solve crime’ to hilarious new heights.”–Justine Pucella Winans, author of Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything
“The funniest debut of the year. Exceptionally timely, and the most lovable, chaotic cast. CL Montblanc is an author to watch.”–Page Powars, author of The Borrow a Boyfriend Club
