Love this--your descriptions are so fun, as usual. Plus--great backstory--duck-taped to a chair? BWAHAHA! It's even better bc I know what the call is about--poor Jake!

Cannot WAIT to read this--do I get an ARC(wink, wink)??? ;)

Omg I laughed out loud the ENTIRE time. This is so high school. So, I could die I'm so bored, there's a million places I'd rather be, let me count the awful things I would rather be doing than this.
This paragraph is pure awesomeness and put a huge smile on my face.

Where the hell is Jake? I wondered. Jake Slater was the biggest douchebag I’ve ever known. He was the prankster who always gave Freshman swirlies in the toilets or shanked them, leaving them bare-assed and humiliated in front of the entire school. He was the illiterate jock who always wanted to copy off your homework or cheat off your test. He was the idiot who could never hold his alcohol and always ended up puking in the back seat of your car before slurring an “I looove you, man!” Yeah, he was all those things and more.

He was my best friend.

Ah, I love this! So much good, down home stuff.

I lost a friend in high school and that ending really hits so close to home. Everything can change in that one second. Heartbreaking.

I love this! You definitely did a good job making the Noah sound like a high school kid! Can't wait!!!

Emilia Plater said...

OMG. I cannot get over this teaser. The voice is so incredible - you have teenage boy DOWN. "Everyone else in the classroom looked stoned or spaced out." - I laughed out loud. I know you're a teacher and everything, but I was a still a tiny little bit surprised at how accurate this all sounded. You are a genius. :D

Raven M said...

LOL! Wow, this was amazing! It was funny and I can already tell that I'm going to love Noah. The voice is just so believable and I really can't wait for this to sell so I can finish reading!

Great snip ^_^
