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 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


“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
