Bad Graces Summary

Bad Graces by Kyrie McCauley

Yellowjackets meets House of Hollow in award-winning author Kyrie McCauleys gripping and magical YA thriller following a group of young women as they face the stress of harsh elements, a mysterious monster, and an unraveling of secrets after their yacht is wrecked off the coast of North America.

Liv Whitlock knows she doesnt belong there. But after years of stumbling between foster homes, often due to her own self-destructive tendencies, Liv desperately needs to change the trajectory of her life so she steals her perfect sisters identity.

Liv starts to rewrite her story, winning a prestigious internship on a movie set filming in Alaska, and finds herself on a luxury yacht alongside pop star Paris Grace, actress sisters Effie and Miri Knight, Olympic gymnast Rosalind Torres, and social media influencer Celia Jones. Liv tries to find common ground with her famous companions, but just as the group starts to bond, a violent storm wrecks their vessel, stranding them on an island in the North Pacific Ocean.

Among the threats of starvation and exposure, they learn there is a predator lurking in the forest, unlike anything theyve seen beforeuntil they begin to see it in themselves. Every injury they suffer on the island causes inexplicable changes in their bodies. With little hope for rescue and only each other as their final tether to humanity, can the girls endure the ominous forces at work on the island? Or will they lose themselves to their darker natures?

Bad Graces Reviews

"A fast-paced plot with an engaging mystery that will hook readers from the beginning. A modern, twisted dark fairy tale." School Library Journal (starred review)

McCauleys feminist spin on Shakespeare and Greek mythology is both lush and disturbing. Though the plot races forward at a shocking pace, each character feels fully formed, helping to construct a brutally relatable portrait of what it is to be a teenage girl. Compulsively readable. Kirkus Reviews

A powerful story. Publishers Weekly

"This is a book of atmosphere. McCauley takes the strands of The Tempest and weaves them into an eerie, almost psychedelic tale that Yellowjackets fans will devour." Booklist
