When Elise Benton's family relocates to California, Elise and her sisters are thrust into a world where your connections to celebrities determine your social standing. With an eccentric high school principal mom and a strict math teacher for a dad, the Bentons don't have much to bank on. Until Juliana, the eldest sister, catches the eye of Chase Baldwin whose best friend is none other than Derek Edwards, the gorgeous son of Hollywood's most famous star couple. Elise and Derek are pulled into closer proximity whether they like it or not, and despite his model-worthy good looks, Elise will. NOT. like. it. Even if Derek appreciates her humor. Even if he did ask her to the semi-formal. Even if he is completely right and Webster Grant, the guy Elise thought she had a crush on, is actually a slimy dirtbag. Even if Elise was totally wrong and Derek is the best guy she's ever met. No, still not enjoying spending time with him. Okay, maybe a little....
In EPIC FAIL, Claire LaZebnik has taken the classic romance of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy and given it a fresh spin in a contemporary, celebrity spawn-filled high school. Elise's clever narrative voice and witty banter (with both Derek and Webster) will keep readers laughing as her unfolding relationship with Derek steals their hearts. Claire's YA debut is a sweet blend of humor, romance, and mistaken impressions guaranteed to entertain.
