Charming as a Verb

Description

From the award-winning author of The Field Guide to the North American Teenager comes a whip-smart and layered romantic comedy. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han. \nHenri “Halti” Haltiwanger can charm just about anyone. He is a star debater and popular student at the prestigious FATE academy, the dutiful first-generation Haitian son, and the trusted dog walker for his wealthy New York City neighbors. But his easy smiles mask a burning ambition to attend his dream college, Columbia University.\nThere is only one person who seems immune to Henri’s charms: his “intense” classmate and neighbor Corinne Troy. When she uncovers Henri’s less-than-honest dog-walking scheme, she blackmails him into helping her change her image at school. Henri agrees, seeing a potential upside for himself.\nSoon what started as a mutual hustle turns into something more surprising than either of them ever bargained for. . . .\nThis is a sharply funny and insightful novel about the countless hustles we have to keep from doing the hardest thing: being ourselves.\nDETAILS\n\n\nPaperback\nISBN-13: 9780062824264\n\nPublisher: Balzer + Bray\n\nPublication Date: February 1, 2022\n\n\nPages: 336\n\nHardcover\n\n\nISBN-13: 9780062824141\n\nPublisher: Balzer + Bray\n\nPublication Date: October 13, 2020\n\n\nPages: 336\n\n\n\n\n
