Swoon Romance
Sixteen-year-old Liza Johnson takes fangirl to a
whole new level of crazy when she decides to take dating advice from her
literary hero: Jane Austen.
With the help of her best friends, Liza sheds her ancient-speak and complete Austen wardrobe for something a bit more modern in an attempt at finding her very own Mr. Darcy.
Enter Will, the new kid and Liza's Darcy incarnate. Add her BFF's ex to mix and the sexy Brit who kisses with an accent, and Liza is in trouble.
So, what's a girl to do? Without her mom to go to relationship advice, Liza turns to the only person she can truly trust with matters of the heart via her mother's copy of COMPLETED WORKS OF JANE AUSTEN.
It's too bad Austen's heroines have never played Spin the Bottle or Seven Minutes in Heaven. Liza's determined to find her true Austen-esque happy ending, but if she can't trust herself instead of books, she just might end up in her own tragic love story.

Buzzing.
I heard it
as I moved closer. Each step raised the tiny hairs all over my body until I
tingled. I fought the urge to turn around, but Janie would kill me. Again.
The
humming pitched higher. My heart detonated in my chest. Just around the corner
and…I was there.
Lunch.
I tugged
my backpack tighter and held the straps out in front so I felt the security of
it on my back. The monkeys were crazy today, jumping, screaming, laughing. All
of them, the Geeks, Preps, Loners, Freaks, Smarties, Drama-Ramas, and
Jockheads—all high—all with serious issues of ADHD and all put on this earth at
the same time, designated to this lunchroom at this very minute, to bug the
crap out of me.
My skin
itched.
I skirted
into the room a little more. Just in time to catch this little, lovely, mind-blowing
comment from Christopher Kronin, Head Jock. “Hey man, did you check out Miranda
today? I swear I saw some cleeeeeavage!” Or, as I like to call him, Head Tool
in the Jerkoff Parade.
Wow. I’m sure that’ll be on our next science
quiz. Question 22: Was or was not Miranda Ames displaying her cleavage last
Wednesday? Trick Question! Correct answer: When isn’t Miranda Ames displaying
massive amounts of cleavage?
DingDingDing. Insert cheeky, red makeupy,
overenthusiastic host face. “My god, Liza Johnson, you are the smartest thing
since sliced bread.” Insert my feigned embarrassment and tiny Miss America
wave. “Thank you. Thank you.”
I smirked,
wishing I’d saved that one for Janie. Too late. They never came out the same
when spoken out loud. If Janie lived in my head with me, it would make things
so much easier.
A tap on
my shoulder brought me back to reality. I turned and looked down into the eyes
of the mind-blower himself. “Um hello, freak? Why are you standing in the
middle of the lunchroom smiling to yourself? You’re not about to go all Carrie
on us, are you?” When was Christopher going to give it up already? I hadn’t
said anything yet about his side escapades. He laughed his big, jock laugh. One
of those mocking ones that really made your hand ball up into a fist and
fantasize about your knuckles leaving pretty pink marks on his face.
Instead, I
said, “Um, s-sorry,” and skittered away. I picked up the pace; dodged monkeys
who already carried empty trays, and scanned heads for streaks of pink before
they decided to fling their own feces at one another.
