Signed

Love, Heather

by Laurie Petrou

Love, Heather by Laurie Petrou, a signed first-edition, first-printing hardcover published by Crooked Lane Books in October 2019. The complete number line ends in 1, and the book retains its illustrated dust jacket. Petrou has personally inscribed and signed the title page, apparently to Ashley, with a thank-you message for support.

Petrou’s young-adult thriller follows fourteen-year-old Stevie after betrayal and bullying leave her isolated at school and online. She and the defiant Dee begin retaliating through pranks signed “Love, Heather,” but their campaign spreads beyond their control as revenge gives way to escalating vigilantism. The novel explores bullying, social exclusion, online intimidation and the blurred boundary between victim and aggressor while paying homage to revenge stories such as Heathers and Carrie.

This was Petrou’s young-adult debut and was selected as one of Refinery29’s favourite books of October 2019. Petrou’s earlier novel Sister of Mine was the inaugural winner of the Half the World Global Literati Award; that distinction belongs to the author’s earlier work rather than to Love, Heather.

The seller grades this copy Very Good. The photographs show light shelf and corner wear to the dust jacket, while the pictured title, inscription and copyright pages appear intact. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
