“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

“Debut-author Horan delivers a lighthearted, feel-good romp with engaging characters who are clever and well realized.” — Booklist

“Horan’s snappy banter and lighthearted approach to conflict make for a breezy read.” — Publishers Weekly

“A lighthearted romance with just enough drama and some sincere exploration of familial and romantic relationships.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Non-stereotypical portrayals of queer ­identity make this a worthwhile addition to high school ­collections.” — School Library Journal
