Welcome to Refracted Light’s
blog tour stop!
Today we have with us Stephanie Wardrop who recently just published her first young adult novella, entitled Snark and Circumstance which is a modernized retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Her main character Georgia tells her story with a hilarious, yet caustic tone, and snark and sarcasm abounds as she relays to us the follies, flaws and faults of her family, peers, town and school. And though a good chuckle is often had with Georgia’s wry narration, as the story progresses it does beg the question…
One superior smirk from Michael Endicott convinces sixteen-year-old Georgia Barrett that the Devil wears Polo. His family may have founded the postcard-perfect New England town they live in, but Georgia’s not impressed. Even if he is smart, good looking, and can return Georgia’s barbs as deftly as he returns serves on his family’s tennis courts. After all, if Michael actually thinks she refuses to participate in lab dissections just to mess with his grade, he’s a little too sure that he’s the center of the universe. Could there be more to Michael Endicott than smirks and sarcasm? If Georgia can cut the snark long enough, she just might find out. Snark and Circumstance is the first title in the Snark and Circumstance series of young adult romance novellas from Stephanie Wardrop.
Stephanie Wardrop grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania where she started writing stories when she ran out of books to read. She’s always wanted to be a writer, except during the brief period of her childhood in which piracy seemed like the most enticing career option — and if she had known then that there actually were “girl” pirates way back when, things might have turned out very differently. She currently teaches writing and literature at Western New England University and lives in a town not unlike the setting of Snark and Circumstance with her husband, two kids, and five cats. With a book out – finally – she might be hitting the high seas any day now.

Happy Reading!
I am a total Pride and Prejudice fan! I would love to read this modern adaptation. Only thing I am worried about is that I will be upset when it ends so quickly! The sadness of reading a novella…
It’s actually, as I understand it, going to be a series of novellas. So not too abrupt of an ending
