So, uh, this is from Tamsyn Muir’s twitter back before the book came out

(transcript start)

Taking a twist for the contemporary, HARROW THE NINTH is the story of one girl’s sexual awakening at Bible camp, surrounded by wasps, unwanted nudes, and elderly swingers. It is also a story about how absolutely nothing happened the way you thought it did. Here are some of the traditional contemporary tropes I went with:

* PROTAG GETS A LIFE-CHANGING MAKEOVER

* PROTAG TROUBLED BY FLAWLESS MARKS IN HIGH SCHOOL NOT TRANSLATING OVER INTO UNIVERSITY

* DINNER PARTY RUINED BY FAUX PAS

* DESPITE MULTIPLE GIRLS BEING INTERESTED PROTAG PINES OVER THE ONE GIRL WHO ISN’T, WHICH IS JUST COMPLETELY FUCKING TYPICAL

* HORRIBLE LEMONGRAB WOMAN STEEPLES FINGERS, A LOT

* DROVE MY CHEVY TO THE LEVEE BUT THE LEVEE WAS GHOSTS

* SO LIKE, WHAT IF THE PAST, LIKE… WASN’T ACTUALLY… THE PAST, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING? (TAKES HUGE NECROBONG HIT)
