After her father vanishes, Dani Fetter begins high school already carrying the weight of abandonment. She expects her best friends to help her, but instead, they opt for parties, hookups, and popularity. Left behind, Dani meets Kevin Martin, an outsider who seems to give her everything her world is missing. Until betrayal cuts deep, leaving her reeling once more. Dani's circle keeps reshaping again and again: new friends like Ryan O'Leary offer comfort, while old wounds resurface. Through each season of high school, Dani is tested through heartbreak, mistakes, and hilarious missteps, as she wrestles with who she is and who she wants to be. Told in a unique blend of letters and chapters, Hannah R. Goodman's HIGH SCHOOL EPIC captures the chaos of teenage life in the early 1990s with raw honesty, humor, and heart.
