Flannery Culp wants you to know the whole story of her spectacularly
awful senior year. Tyrants, perverts, tragic crushes, gossip, cruel
jokes, and the hallucinatory effects of absinthe -- Flannery and the
seven other friends in the Basic Eight have suffered through it all. But
now, on tabloid television, they're calling Flannery a murderer, which
is a total lie. It's true that high school can be so stressful
sometimes. And it's true that sometimes a girl just has to kill
someone. But Flannery wants you to know that she's not a murderer at all
-- she's a murderess.
