One superior smirk from Michael Endicott convinces sixteen-year-old Georgia Barrett that the Devil wears Polo. His family may have founded the postcard-perfect New England town they live in, but Georgia’s not impressed. Even if he is smart, good looking, and can return Georgia’s barbs as deftly as he returns serves on his family’s tennis courts. After all, if Michael actually thinks she refuses to participate in lab dissections just to mess with his grade, he’s a little too sure that he’s the center of the universe. Could there be more to Michael Endicott than smirks and sarcasm? If Georgia can cut the snark long enough, she just might find out.
Snark and Circumstance is the first title in the Snark and Circumstance series of young adult romance novellas from Stephanie Wardrop. First title available 2.5.13.
Today I have with me author Stephanie Wardrop with Michael and Georgia. They are going to be providing alternative views from a he says/she says! Stay turned!
Advice column
The Alt
LONGBOURNE HIGH SCHOOL’S ALTERNATIVE NEWSPAPER
This week’s edition has a new feature: an advice column presented by our own Georgia Barrett and Michael Endicott, offering “he says/ she says” advice to the lovelorn and otherwise troubled. Send us your questions and we’ll answer them!
Dear Alt Advice People:
My boyfriend is not a vegetarian and I am. Can we ever share a meal together?
- Tofu Rocks
Georgia: First, congrats on making the ethical choice. I think you should win him over with vegan cookies. Boys seems to love cookies (who doesn’t?) and you can show him how easy it is to eat something delicious and nonthreatening that does not require butter or eggs or other animal parts. He’ll probably never notice your cookies are “veg”, and then you can try some tofu nuggets. With fries. And lots of barbecue sauce.
Michael: You eat what you eat and let him eat what he eats. If you like him why do you want to change him? If you’re not a total vegan, you can guys can at least go out for pizza and get half with just cheese and veggies and the other half with meaty goodness.
Georgia: Michael fails to recognize exactly how gross it is when the fatty oil from the pepperoni oozes over and contaminates the veggie side. Order two smalls.
Dear Alt Advice People:
I hate my math class and I am pretty sure I’ll never need to recognize a cosine outside of that classroom. How can I get through a whole year of it without being bored to death?
--Mathematically Challenged
Georgia: Doodle. That’s what I do. And send any good drawing to The Alt because we need a cartoonist!
Michael: Suck it up. Boredom is not fatal. (But if you’re bored because you’re actually lost and confused, then you should get a tutor).
Georgia: Have you checked with your counselor about whether you absolutely need the class to graduate? Or for your college major? Maybe you can get out of it.
Michael: The year is half over. You’re halfway through it, so don’t give it up now. See it through and don’t limit your choices later on. You don’t want to decide five years from now that you want to be an accountant but you’re way behind in math credits.
Georgia: No one who hates math that much is ever going to be an accountant.
Michael: Do you want to be a cartoonist? Because tuning out of class to doodle when you should be taking notes is not going to lead anywhere else.
Georgia: I don’t even know what a cosine is, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be okay. You will, too.
