What to expect
A teen social media star learns he can’t control everything in this delicious, queer graphic novel adaptation that relocates Jane Austen’s Emma to a modern-day high school in Queens, New York.
Evan Horowitz has it all: beauty, brains, and a not-so-secret flair for matchmaking! An Insta influencer with a talent for makeup and a taste for romance, he’s no stranger to playing cupid for those hopelessly clueless in finding love.
So when shy transfer student Natalia shuffles into school one day, Evan can’t help but get his hands messy! With so many matches to choose from, it’s not long before he sets a plan in motion for Natalia—much against the better judgement of his level-headed best friend, Davi.
But he takes things too far, creating a web of drama that spirals out of his control. Can Evan learn to put the people closest to him before his misguided ambition? Or will he lose them and his own chance at romance, too?
Critics Review
-
“A chaotically queer retelling of Jane Austen's Emma. Evan is the perfect modern-day Emma Woodhouse – conniving and headstrong, with a lot to learn, but with a good heart underneath all of the drama.”
—Alice Oseman, creator of Heartstopper -
“Evan’s characterization is easily the star of the show; he’s a worthy Emma Woodhouse analogue whose sky-high confidence and charm don’t waver despite his myriad flaws…A pleasant and amusing retelling.”
—Kirkus Reviews -
“The art is adorable and the characters are quirky and compelling…this update brings accessibility and a modern sensibility to a beloved classic.”—Booklist
