New Book Trailer for Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager

-


​I wanted to share my new book trailer for my YA book, Dating the It Guy. This book was originally a short story I wrote in a creative writing class in college. My professor told me it had a Salinger feel to it and my class encouraged me to expand it into something longer. Who would have thought that story would have inspired me to write a whole book! It’s one of the most personal novels that I’ve written. Hope you enjoy the trailer!


Reviews for Dating the It Guy:

"Teens will especially relate as she tries different ways to cope before finally trusting herself. The author intertwines a poignant story of family bonds with the blush of first love and the difficulty of figuring out a place in an ever-changing world of expectations. This talented author is one to watch!"- InD'tale Magazine

"This story was amazing. It looks into high school dating and gives it the pathos and dilemma that young adults feel....You cry and laugh with their trials and tribulations. Well written. Good read." --Amazon review

“There is so much to love about this book. Krysten Lindsay Hager knows how teens think and speak, and she understands why Emme would feel overwhelmed by everything about Brendon - his looks, his popularity, his feelings for her, his exes, his family.” ​
--From Vox libris: the voice of books 

"This is a lovely read...a really well written book and a lovely story. It is different from your usual high school romance and I really appreciated it even more of it. You guys will love Emme and Brendon as they are adorable!- Amazon review, Nadine Chucri

The 80's --a subtle time for fashion

There have been so many reunion tours lately that I can't help reminiscing on those days and wondering if Debarge will go on tour...and whether or not that would make the Horsemen of the Apocalypse show up. After the Spice Girls tour did so well I figured the NKOTB would tour again and now they're even doing a single with New Edition. NE was a little before I got into music and I didn't discover them until Bobby Brown went solo and then Johnny Gill came along and they kept talking aobut their old group. I loved Johnny's voice, so I became a NE fan by default. I even went to a New Edition reunion concert...along with a NKOTB one (before they felt too stupid to be called "kids"), a George Michael one, Color Me Badd (in my defense they were performing with Paula Abdul...does this make it better or worse?) and I even saw Tiffany in concert. Jealous? Thought so. However what I wore to the concerts was a crime against humanity. I distinctly remember a...

Autumn Memories

Why didn't I go to Carleton College in Minnesota? Sure I just found out it existed like, this minute, but that's no excuse. It's all picturesque like someplace one of the Wakefield twins (probably Liz, Jessica's too wild for that town) would have gone. Or where Nancy Drew would have gone to college during brief breaks of crime fighting and mystery solving. Instead, I went to school in the inner city just blocks away from the gang-infested ghetto and a stone's throw from Crack Alley, the sun dappled lane where all the drug/rehab meeting are so conveniently located near the drug houses. Brilliant planning on that one. Sure my school had it's perks, but it wasn't all cutesy. And, if I went down to the main campus that had more charm, well, let's just say that the old “charming” buildings stunk. They reeked of charm literally. And downtown Ann Arbor has never been my favorite place although if you want to try Ethiopian food and get a brownie from a place t...

Don't Blog Angry & the Field trip

-
I haven't blogged in a while because I think, as a rule, people shouldn't blog while angry and I've been less than enthusiastic about life since the flood in our place two weeks ago. I had been so excited to move into a renovated apartment and then, just 2 hours into the move, water came up from the sewer drain in the laundry room. I would hold a funeral service for my clothes, shoes, books, and scrapbooking things, but I fear it would be too emotional. So we were eventually moved to a new place across the hall (not pleasantly, mind you) and then our neighbor's place flooded as well. So I'm trying to be positive and not wait for the other shoe to drop. So I'm not even going to mention that fact my bathroom stinks like Snuggle when my upstairs neighbors wash or the fact my new garbage disposal doesn't work or the lack of a drying cycle on my dishwasher. Not even going to bring it up. On to more positive things that don't leave me weeping silent...
