Robin Constantine's New Jersey romance The Promise of Amazing is a sexy, poignant, funny, and authentic debut novel that will appeal to fans of books by Stephanie Perkins, Sarah Mlynowski, and Jennifer E. Smith.
Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she's not popular, not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet good girl who's always done what she's supposed to--only now, in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change but doesn't know how.
Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe's: star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, and on the fast track to a brilliant future--until he was expelled for being a term-paper pimp. Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change but doesn't know how.
One fateful night, their paths cross at Wren's family's Arthurian-themed catering hall. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are--and falling in love.
They both need to change, but they have no idea how. What happens when the only person who understands is the one you're supposed to stay away from?
- Good Girl x Bad Boy: She's the quiet girl who always follows the rules. He's the former lacrosse star and term-paper pimp who just got expelled. Neither one of them is who they seem.
- Dual POV: Told from both Wren and Grayson's perspectives, get both sides of this hilarious and tender story of first love.
- Forced Proximity: When their paths cross at Wren's family catering hall, an unexpected disaster involving a cocktail weenie throws them together whether they like it or not.
- A Poignant Coming of Age Story: A poignant tale about two teens shedding their past reputations, figuring out who they are, and taking a chance on a future they never expected.
