Evie is not plucky, but when life's changes smash over her like the rough surf of the local shoreline, she muddles through--until that moment of loss and longing when muddling will no longer suffice. This is the story of what the baddest girl on the planet must find in herself when a bag of pastries, a new lover, or quick trip to Vegas won't fix anything, and when something more than casual haplessness is required. \u003ci\u003eThe Baddest Girl on the Planet\u003c\/i\u003e is inventive, sharp, witty, and poignant. Readers will want to jump in and advise this baddest girl on the planet--or at least just give her a shake or a hug--at every fascinating turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeather Frese\u003c\/b\u003e's fiction, essays, and poetry have appeared in \u003ci\u003eMichigan Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFront Porch\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eBarely South Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSwitchback\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere, earning notable mention in the Pushcart Prize Anthology and Best American Essays.
