Author Felicia L. Kenny Delivers a Wickedly Funny, Scandalous, and Drama-Filled Story About Teenage Love, Lies, Rivalry, and the Dark Side of Popularity
He’s everybody’s dream boyfriend. She’s everybody’s dream girlfriend. Together, they’re everybody’s worst nightmare.
Monmouth County, NEW JERSEY —What happens when the most popular boy in school falls for the most popular girl, but neither knows how to love anyone more than themselves?
In “Mr. and Ms. Toxic”, author Felicia L. Kenny turns the traditional teenage romance upside down with a wildly entertaining story about two beautiful, brilliant, spoiled, manipulative, and hopelessly competitive teenagers who have everything going for them; except a healthy relationship.
He lies. She lies better. He plays games. She changes the rules.
Some couples are a match made in Heaven. Swivel Parker and Darby Mitchell are a disaster made for each other.
Welcome to Percival High School, where popularity is power, image is everything, and nobody commands more attention than Swivel Robinson and Darby Mitchell. They sit at the absolute peak of the social pyramid.
Swivel is the handsome, charming, straight-A student and star football captain. Darby is the beautiful, ambitious, straight-A student and reigning cheerleading queen. Together, they are Percival High’s ultimate power couple; the envy of their classmates and the very definition of teenage perfection.
Or so it seems.
Behind the dazzling smiles, designer clothes, impressive achievements, and carefully curated social media images lies a relationship fueled by jealousy, dishonesty, manipulation, betrayal, and an outrageous obsession with winning. And when it comes to loyalty? Let’s just say neither one is winning any awards.
Swivel is arrogant, selfish, spoiled, and convinced the world revolves around him. Darby is equally conceited, calculating, demanding, and determined to prove she is better than everyone, especially her boyfriend.
They compete over everything from grades to who has the most social media followers.
Their arguments are legendary. Their breakups are explosive. Their reconciliations are ridiculous. And their friends have long since grown tired of trying to understand why two people who seem to despise each other simply refuse to stay apart.
As secrets begin to unravel, betrayals multiply, and their carefully polished reputations start to crumble, Percival High’s golden couple becomes the school’s biggest source of gossip, chaos, and entertainment.
So, what happens when two selfish, manipulative, hopelessly competitive teenagers discover that the one person they can’t stand might also be the one person who understands them best?
Packed with sharp humor, outrageous situations, unforgettable personalities, and explosive teenage drama, “Mr. and Ms. Toxic” explores the dangerous intersection of ego, insecurity, popularity, and young love.
While delivering an entertaining and often outrageous look at high school relationships, Kenny also introduces themes that resonate beyond the classroom: the pressure to appear perfect, the influence of social media, unhealthy competition, emotional manipulation, and the difference between genuine love and the desire to control.
“Because having the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend means nothing when the relationship itself is anything but perfect.”
With its larger-than-life characters, scandalous twists, and unapologetically dramatic storyline, “Mr. and Ms. Toxic” invites readers into a world where appearances are deceiving, popularity comes at a price, and sometimes the biggest enemy in a relationship is the person staring back at you.
Some couples bring out the best in each other.
Swivel and Darby bring out the absolute worst.
And that is exactly what makes them “MR. AND MS. TOXIC”.
