What happens when being a BRAT goes too far?
In June 2024, Pete Chan's life takes a sharp turn after he hears BRAT by Charli XCX for the first time. He quits his corporate job, dumps his cheating boyfriend, and reinvents himself as a barista. He's finally living life on his terms-until he hurls an iced latte at a Male Karen and accidentally becomes internet famous as BRATista.
Viral fame is a double-edged sword that puts him in the crosshairs of a relentless online troll named Frankie. Determined to correct the narrative, he embarks on a road trip from Brooklyn to Chicago to confront Frankie IRL-but what starts as a petty, chaotic quest for revenge takes an unexpected turn into something romantic.
Then the unthinkable happens: Pete's ex, Toby, is found dead, and Pete is arrested for murder. And the only person who can clear his name is Frankie, the hater he just dissed and blocked. Now Pete has to do whatever it takes to prove his innocence and catch Toby's killer.
Darkly hilarious and razor-sharp, Memoir of an Innocent BRAT is a queer mystery novel that explores viral fame, pop culture, and the price of being truly seen.
