When the head cheerleader at their school is attacked and the LGBTQ club is framed, Eleanora Finkel knows that she has to clear their names before their future plans are ruined. Luckily, Eleanora can rely on the help of her close friends and perhaps even an enemy? Yet head cheerleader Kenley doesn’t seem to realize that they’re enemies as Eleanora tries to discover why the club was framed and Kenley was targeted. Can Eleanora find the culprit before the club is disbanded? 

Pride or Die is a fast-paced and exhilarating thriller! I found it hard to put down and enjoyed the action-packed adventure. Eleanora is a very relatable character and I loved the strong friendships that she had in the club. I also enjoyed her connection with Kenley. CL Montblanc writes about serious themes of homophobia, while crafting a beautiful friendship group who will do anything for each other. I’m excited to see what CL Montblanc writes next! Readers who enjoy unputdownable YA thrillers and fantastic LGBTQ characters will love this book. 

Thank you so much to CL Montblanc, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
