Travel Desinations: I want to go to London again more than anything.
Bridget Duke is the uncontested ruler of her school. The meanest girl with the biggest secret insecurities. And when new girl Anna Judge arrives, things start to fall apart for Bridget: friends don’t worship as attentively, teachers don’t fall for her wide-eyed “who me?” look, expulsion looms ahead and the one boy she’s always loved--Liam Ward--can barely even look at her anymore.
When a desperate Bridget drives too fast and crashes her car, she ends up in limbo, facing everyone she’s wronged and walking a few uncomfortable miles in their shoes. Now she has only one chance to make a last impression. Though she might end up dead, she has one last shot at redemption and the chance to right the wrongs she’s inflicted on the people who mean the most to her.
And Bridget’s about to learn that, sometimes, saying you’re sorry just isn’t enough.
What do you do when the five people you meet in limbo all want you to go to hell?
On Here Lies Bridget:
“Paige Harbison takes on mean girls with her debut novel about a queen bee stuck in limbo after a horrific accident. Following in the footsteps of her mom, Beth Harbison--author of Shoe Addicts Anonymous, which is being made into a movie starring Halle Berry--the 21 year old has already inked a deal to give her book the hollywood treatment.”
For Fans Of: Gossip Girl
-Tommy Weseley, Teen Vogue
Compellingly written from Bridget's point of view, "Here Lies Bridget" is an ideal read for victims of this abysmal behavior [bullying], offering keen and witty insight into the emotional motivations of privileged narcissists.
What's so engaging about "Here Lies Bridget" is its honest insight into Bridget's self-perception…[A] solid and intriguing read.”
--Susan Carpenter, L.A Times
This journey with her was remarkable. It is well thought out and well described. Great execution of each situation. The characters are likeable and you even feel sorry for them with the way Bridget treats them. I took a lot away from this book. I wasn't sure where it was going at first but when it took the turn that it did I was pleasantly surprised. If you get a chance to read this PLEASE DO!”
--Lora Wiedenheft, Read For Your Future
The novel unfolds with a certain sweetness and a lack of cynicism, which I found refreshing. This may be because author Paige is only twenty years old, so her connection with a young audience is natural and easy. I appreciate the book's message and if I had kids, I'd feel comfortable allowing girls as young as twelve to read it.

Things About Me
· I barely wake up before 11am.
· I am overly obsessed with sour candy and chips and queso. And chipotle. And chicken fried rice. (Lots of “ch” in there…)
· My best friend and I text constantly throughout the day, and have text dates every week for things like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Jersey Shore. I watch so much stuff…from Mad Men to Frasier reruns to Gossip Girl.
· I can barely ride a bike, and I always forget how.
· I wear Lily Pulitzer “Beachy” perfume. I’ve been willing to buy every expensive perfume out there, but I just love Beachy.
· My PNC Banking bill is always filled with: Apple, Hollister, Sephora, and Victoria’s Secret.
· I don’t want a Kindle because I like putting books on my shelf.
· Most of my inspiration comes from mood. That’s what draws me into a book, and what keeps me obsessing over it afterwards.
· At my wedding, there is no chance of catching me in an actual “Wedding Dress.” It’ll be pretty, it’ll be vanilla colored, but it will not be bought in a bridal shop.
“Take Mean Girls, add a dash of A Christmas Carol and you have the somewhat guilty pleasure that is Here Lies Bridget by Paige Harbison.”
