How can you trust your heart in a world that’s plastic? The story of a teen girl who longs to escape the spotlight, and the PR relationship that helps her find real happiness.

"Smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive." — Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue


Growing up in the public eye, Kia would gladly give up her privileged life as the daughter of a reality star for the freedom to find her own way—go to high school parties, gossip with the drama club, apply to college, make mistakes, and fall in love like any other teen.

Then she meets Cass, and he offers a glimpse at the ordinary life she craves. But Cass is a rising star in his own right, and what starts as something sweet and undefined soon becomes a magnet for rumor and speculation—as if first love wasn’t messy enough on its own.

The pressure of the spotlight takes its toll, chipping away at Kia’s sense of self, pushing and pulling and reshaping her—body and mind—to fit the expectations of everyone around her. But what does Kia want for herself? And can her fragile new relationship survive the fallout?

ALANNA BENNETT is a screenwriter and culture writer living in Los Angeles. Born in Hollywood and raised in Portland, Oregon, she’s written for film and television, notably Roswell, New Mexico; The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy; and the Emmy-nominated XO, Kitty. Through her published work for BuzzFeed News, The New York Times, Teen Vogue, The Cut, Vulture, Refinery29, Glamour, Eater, and more, she’s tackled topics as diverse as homelessness, celebrity culture, and the cultural touchpoint that was Captain America’s butt. She also runs writing classes through her company, The Spring School. This is her first novel, but as with all her creative pursuits, Alanna is only just getting started.

Reviews

"Alanna Bennett has been one of my favorite voices for a long time now. Her work is thoughtful, joyful, and necessary. The Education of Kia Greer feels like a gift."—Taylor Jenkins Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones and the Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

"A must-read for pop heads, reality bingers, blind item guessers, and anyone who's ever owned a Kylie Lip Kit. Kia Greer pulls you into the hyperreality and humanity of fame like an irresistible celebrity memoir. Kia [is] a girl in glittering shadow, full of resilience and vulnerability, always looked at but never seen. This book is smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive." — Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue

"An absolute knockout of a debut. Heartfelt, wildly clever, and deeply relatable, Kia is a must-read coming-of-age story about finding your voice in a world determined to take it from you, and how love—messy, beautiful, and complicated—shapes every step of the way." —Emma Lord, New York Times bestselling author of You Have a Match and Tweet Cute
 
"Heartfelt, funny, romantic, and insightful at the same time, The Education of Kia Greer is a delicious read that should come with a warning label because it kept me turning pages way past my bedtime. I cared so much about these characters - and you will, too." —Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and Enchanted To Meet You

“At once warm and incisive, meticulously exploring first love, heartbreaks, and joy with a gentle tenderness that belies a vigorous understanding of the nuances of a heart. A coming of age must read.”  —Bolu Bablola, New York Times Bestselling author of Honey and Spice
