This is when we get introduced to intertwining characters of the 21st century in this book, Meritt Emmons, Harper Harper, and Audrey Wells, each involved in adapting the film about the famous macabre deaths of the heroines. After the release of the breakout book, Hollywood wants to make a movie based off of the famous controversy and curse that Brookhants left after being shut down. Many years later, a bestseller book was published that admired the queer and feminist history that the schools legacy left. After various claims and the mysterious and tragic deaths of Flo, Clara, and other student’s who came in contact with the memoir, the school shut down and left this mystery to closed gates. In the 1902 Brookhants School for Girls, the rebellious Flo and Clara are inspired by a feminist memoir by Mary MacLane in which they show their fervor for the book by creating a club: The Plain Bad Heroine Society. Danforth stays true and shows a truly complex storyline of a book within a movie within a book.
