I want to be like Gideon Lee. My lips move as I read the title of the essay. They twitch as I stifle a snicker. Looking around the room, I make sure no one has seen my facial tic. My eyes light upon the Presidents' pictures lined up on the wall.They face me, each with a unique expression, and I wonder what they were thinking while they posed. They are above the clock so my gaze naturally falls on it. It's almost time for lunch.

    Sounds like the narrator is in high school. I'm curious about why the essay, why did she laugh?

    The cover of your book confuses me. The lettering makes it seem like it will be a fluffy romance, but the quote shows me there is more depth to the book.

    This book cover is darling! I want to know more about this Gideon Lee character, especially since the name alone is part of the title :)

    I do like the sound of this but I have no idea what is happening in the book! She skips from one thing to the other and I'm wondering who exactly Gideon Lee is! Thanks for hosting :) Hope you have a great weekend! My Friday post
