Description



Book Synopsis



For fans of Nicola Yoon's Everything, Everything, Emery Lord's When We Collided, and Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, Anna Priemaza's debut novel is a heartwarming and achingly real story of finding a friend, being a fan, and defining your place in a difficult world.

Kat and Meg couldn't be more different. Kat's anxiety makes it hard for her to talk to people. Meg hates being alone, but her ADHD keeps pushing people away. But when the two girls are thrown together for a year-long science project, they discover they do have one thing in common: They're both obsessed with the same online gaming star and his hilarious videos.

If they can stick together, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship--the kind Kat never knew she wanted and Meg never believed she'd find.

"Kat and Meg Conquer the World will hit home for anyone who has ever been waist-deep in fandom, doubt, or new relationships; Kat's and Meg's unique voices are outstanding, and their friendship brings this story to vibrant life."--Francesca Zappia, author of Made You Up and Eliza and Her Monsters



From the Back Cover



KAT and MEG couldn't be more different.

KAT's anxiety makes it hard for her to talk to new people. The only place she feels safe is in front of her computer, playing her favorite video game.

MEG hates being alone, but her ADHD keeps pushing people away. Friends. Her boyfriend. Even the step-father who raised her.

But when the two girls are thrown together for a year-long science project, they discover they do have one thing in common: their obsession with the online gaming star LumberLegs and his hilarious videos.

Meg's pretty sure this is fate. Kat doesn't know how to deal with someone who talks faster than she thinks. But if they can stick together and stay out of their heads, they might figure out how to help each other--and build the kind of friendship Kat never knew she wanted and Meg never believed she'd find.
