I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the TWELFTH GRADE NIGHT by Molly Horton Booth,
Stephanie Kate Strohm, & Jamie Green Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my
post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
Jamie Green is a maker and professional curious person living in Greenville (funny, right?), South Carolina. They graduated in 2020 from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. In 2019, they was recognized by the Society of Illustrators as the Zankel Scholar. Much like her hobbies, their work can be described as the feeling of being bundled up around a campfire or hiking through the autumn woods. It is a goal of theirs to both intrigue and educate, combining nature and whimsy and creating a space for curiosity (as well as a bit of magic). Jamie strives to create picture books, illustrated educational books, magazine covers, interactive materials, and chapter book covers/interiors.
Molly grew up homeschooled, earned their BA in English from Marlboro College, and earned
their MA in English from UMass Boston. She lives in Baltimore, MD where she spends a lot of time with her partner, family, and friends, and the rest doting on her pets.
STEPHANIE KATE STROHM is the author of It’s Not Me, It’s You; The Date to Save; The Taming
of the Drew; Prince in Disguise; Love a la Mode; That’s Not What I Heard; Restless Hearts (Katy Keene #1) and Once Upon a Tide: A Mermaid’s Tale. After graduating with a joint major in theater and history from Middlebury College, she acted her way around the country,
performing in more than 25 states.
She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, her son, and a dog named Lorelei Lee.

The course of true love never did run smooth . . . and neither does high school in this new
graphic novel series for fans of Heartstopper and The Prince and the Dressmaker.
Vi came to Arden High for a fresh start and a chance to wear beanies and button-ups instead of
uniform skirts. And though doing it without her twin feels like being split in half, Vi finds her
stride when she stumbles (literally!) into broody and beautiful poet-slash-influencer, Orsino.
Soon Vi gets roped into helping plan the school’s Twelfth Grade Night dance, and she can’t stop
dreaming about slow dancing with Orsino under the fairy lights in the gym.
The problem? All Vi’s new friends assume she’s not even into guys. And before Vi can ask
Orsino to the dance, he recruits Vi to help woo his crush, Olivia. Who has a crush of her own . . .
on Vi.
Star-crossed love abounds in this hilarious and romantic story of self-discovery, mistaken
identities, and the magic that happens when we open our hearts to something new.
Fans of Shakespeare retellings will adore this. For people who have only read one or two Shakespeare plays, you'll still enjoy this one.
I could no get enough of the artwork in this graphic novel. Moreover I loved how one of the character's strongly resembled Ezra Miller (the EM before the all that bad stuff he did). All the players in this one are unique and easy to tell apart.
I liked the modern take on technology and the story was fun and endearing. I would have liked a bit more time with Orsino or even a panel or two of his feelings toward a certain someone, but the story was perfection nonetheless.
Some reviewers were confused by the presence of the fae (I was too) but I believe magic is just common in this world (I have never read Twelfth Night UGH). If you can get past that, you will be immersed in this bisexual dream of a book.
