When she and Dee--defiant, bold, indestructible Dee--started all this, there was a purpose to their acts of vengeance: to put the bullies of Woepine High School back in their place. And three months ago, Stevie believed they deserved it. Once her best friend turned on her, the rest of the school followed. Stevie was alone and unprotected with a target on her back. Online, it was worse.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt was Dee's idea to get them all back with a few clever pranks, signing each act Love, Heather--an homage to her favorite 80's revenge flick. Despite herself, Stevie can't help getting caught up in the payback, reveling in every minute of suffering. And for a while, it works: it seems the meek have inherited the school.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut when anonymous students begin joining in, punishing perceived slights with increasingly violent ferocity, the line between villain and vigilante begins to blur. As friends turn on each other and the administration scrambles to regain control, it becomes clear: whatever Dee and Stevie started has gained a mind--and teeth--of its own. And when it finally swallows them whole, one will reemerge changed, with a plan for one final, terrifying act of revenge.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eLove, Heather\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“A timely novel about the effects of long-term bulling…\u003cb\u003ePetrou explores the vulnerability of teens who don’t have a strong support network\u003c\/b\u003e...This novel drives \u003cb\u003ea powerful message of strength and self-love.\u003c\/b\u003e”\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Petrou has created a character and a situation that many teens will relate to...A solid choice for book clubs.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eI devoured this book!\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Petrou truly understands the darkness of the high school experience.
