Description
A funny, edgy dark comedy of errors – the highly anticipated second novel from best-selling authors Angourie and Kate Rice.
Amy Middleton has all her plans in place for the school ball – the perfect designer dress, the perfect dream date, the perfect night.
When Leo Prince finally agrees to go with her, success seems assured, and the night belongs to Amy.
But fate, it seems, has other plans, and with the buzz of an unexpected text, her perfect night begins to unravel.
In the second novel from acclaimed Australian mother-daughter duo Angourie Rice and Kate Rice, brutally honest journal entries, texts, interviews and school newsletters slowly reveal a night gone terribly and hilariously wrong.
My Wonderful Disgrace is a deliciously dark comedy of errors about unrequited love, manipulation, misunderstandings and the tragic fate of one innocent goat.
