I think this might be one of the last FELL teasers ... it's getting too sticky to find pieces of the narrative that make sense on their own. Plus, too much farther and I'll start giving everything away, and like a good magician, I can't do that.
Anyway, here's Harley and Birch on the bus again. They're in the middle of a conversation about why they have such awkward eye contact on their commutes home.

I think I melted a little bit... I love the intense, flirty dialogue and interplay between them. So awesome. And it definitely, definitely makes me want to read this book!
ReplyDeleteOooh...what happens next??
ReplyDeleteTheir interaction is really good, but Harley does creep me out a little. Haha. I can really feel Birch's embarrassment with the scene with the quarter though. I cringed for her.
ReplyDelete@Megan: thanks!
ReplyDelete@Pam: next week...
@Laurie: yeah, it's been hard for me to find the balance between making Harley cute but not creepy. Because he is kind of creepy... hm.
I'm... not quite sure why, but I'm falling and falling for Harley, especially in that last line.
ReplyDelete@Sandy: Yay! Just keep falling :)
ReplyDeletethis is the first time i've read any of your posts, but it certainly won't be the last time--what captivating and engaging writing! (I want to write like you someday...)
ReplyDeletei loved this post. the characters already feel real.
Remember - I am still your NUMBER ONE BETA. Right? RIGHT?!
ReplyDelete:P
Great teaser, as usual. I sense something slightly off about his "I paid before her - remember?" Like a wink-wink-nudge-nudge bit of foreshadowing. Hmm...
@Kari: wow, what a lovely compliment! thanks so much!
ReplyDelete@Kristin: oh yes, no worries -- as long as I'm on the list before SEVEN. I miss your teasers...
@Kirsten - You are most certainly on the list for SEVEN. :) I so appreciate the offer. Although it probably won't be finished until the end of summer-ish.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't see this before!
ReplyDeleteI am hooked. How can I not be with this first sentence? “Being — stared at by you seems to involve a lot of — baggage,”
Ubercuteness! Loved the MC's voice.
@Kristin -- I can't wait!
ReplyDelete@Marilyn -- thanks! I like that sentence, too :)
