The Trouble with Flirting

Franny Pearson never dreamed she'd be attending the prestigious Mansfield College Summer Theater Program. And she's not, exactly. She's working for her aunt, the drama department's costume designer. But sewing her fingers to the bone does give her an opportunity to spend time with her longtime crush, Alex. If only he was as taken with the girl hemming his trousers as he is with his new leading lady. When Harry, a notorious flirt, shows more than a friendly interest in Franny, she figures it can't hurt to have a little fun. But why is Alex suddenly giving her those deep, meaningful looks?



In this charming tale of mixed messages and romantic near-misses, Claire LaZebnik (author of Epic Fail, inspired by Pride and Prejudice) has cleverly reimagined the world of Mansfield Park, crafting a fun, engaging romance, filled with witty narration and fantastic banter. Flirting might be more trouble than Franny ever expected, but fans of Susane Colasanti, Stephanie Perkins, and of course Jane Austen will agree that it makes for an irresistible read.
