Juliet meets her Juliets in this raw look at punk, young love and the sometimes cloudy
road to adulthood. Mosh Pit, a compelling story of rebel girls in the modern city, stars
Simone–torn between her loyalty to her rebellious heart–throb Cherry and her feelings
for Carol, streetwise and distant enough to be alluring. This edgy young adult novel
takes Simone through the modern equivalent of Hades where she gradually gains a
sense of who she is and more importantly who she can be.
