"How do you update Oscar Wilde for the internet age? In Molly Horan''s charming debut, the answer is to wrap the dazzling wordplay around a gentle--even earnest --exploration of new love and old wounds. Epically Earnest is a hopeful, romantic, sharply observed comedy of manners with a winning cast, and a group dance number that belongs in the rom-com hall of fame." -- Amanda Sellet, author of By the Book and Belittled Women "A delightful story that puts Ernest in the shoes of a modern girl as she navigates internet fame, first love, and the real meaning of family. With dazzling wit and heart for days, Horan''s stand-out debut would make Oscar Wilde proud!" -- Kaitlyn Hill, author of Love From Scratch "A lighthearted romance with just enough drama and some sincere exploration of familial and romantic relationships." -- Kirkus Reviews "Horan''s snappy banter and lighthearted approach to conflict make for a breezy read." -- Publishers Weekly "Debut-author Horan delivers a lighthearted, feel-good romp with engaging characters who are clever and well realized." -- Booklist "Non-stereotypical portrayals of queer identity make this a worthwhile addition to high school collections." -- School Library Journal
