About A Match Made in High School

When a mandatory marriage education course forces
Fiona to “try the knot” with super-jock Todd Harding,
she’s convinced life could not possibly get any worse.
Until moments later, when her long-time crush is paired
with her arch-enemy (otherwise known as Todd’s
obscenely hot, slightly sadistic girlfriend). But that’s nothing
compared to her best friend’s fate – a year with the very shy,
very goofy, very big Johnny Mercer.

A series of hilarious pranks and misunderstandings
leave Fiona wondering: is there something her supposed
“best friend” hasn’t told her? Could there be more to Johnny
Mercer than a deep voice and an awesome music collection?
And perhaps most intriguing of all, is it possible that Todd
Harding could actually have a heart – and a brain – beneath
his pretty-boy exterior?

About Kristin Walker

Kristin Walker grew up roaming the Pennsylvania
countryside. She finally landed at Penn State, where
she earned a BA in Theatre Arts. In addition to being actor,
Kristin was many things on her way to becoming an author,
such as a lifeguard, a nanny, a beginning ballroom dance
instructor, a library circulation clerk, and very nearly a nurse.
A Match Made in High School (Razorbill/Penguin Group) is her
first novel. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Ladybug,
Wee Ones, and two Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Kristin lives
in a Chicago suburb with her husband and three sons.

and the cindy interview! these are 2009 questions
as kristin was originally a 2009 release deb!

1. who is your literary character crush?

I’m sure many many Debs (like me) will pick Darcy,
Mr. Darcy, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Mr. Darcy as played
by Colin Firth, or Colin Firth playing a guy named Darcy
in Bridget Jones’s Diary.

So let’s just eliminate the outlier. Other than HIM, my
literary crush would have to be… oh, yes. Gilbert Blythe.
Ahhhhh.

2. who is your author crush? (does not have to
be romantic!)

There are so many. Richard Peck, Anna Quindlen,
Markus Zusak, JK Rowling. *heart flutter*

3. what is your favorite pastry?

Ice cream. What? Okay, a little piece of pastry in
a bowl of ice cream.

ice cream has its place and all but at least deep
fried ice cream? haha!

4. what is the favorite scene from your novel?

The last one.

congratulations on the release of your
debut, kristin!!!

    I have this book on reserve at the library. I didn’t think I’d pick up something like this but I’ve read the summary and it’s definitely very unique and intriguing premise. I can’t wait to read it. :)
