edit data

Having spent a lifetime travelling the globe, Kate Larkindale settled in Wellington, New Zealand. A marketing executive, film reviewer and mother, she’s surprised she finds any time to write, but doesn’t sleep much. As a result, she can usually be found hanging out near the espresso machine.

She is the author of contemporary YA novels The Sidewalk's Regrets, An Unstill Life, Chasing the Taillights and Stumped along with several others that no one is allowed to see. She has also written one very bad historical romance, which will likely never see the light of day. She is working on several more YA novels that may or may not ever be finished…

Her short stories have appeared in Halfway Down The Stairs, A Fly in Amber, Daily Flash Anthology, The ...more

Books I've Read: Tracy Flick Can't Win

I saw this one at the library and just couldn't say no. I loved Election, both the book and the film, so this one was a must-read for me.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I wanted to. Part of what made Election so much fun was how desperately ambitious Tracy was, and how relentlessly she went after what she wanted. I know it's probably realistic that she's mellowed a bit o
