Pinky Swears

By Shea Warner

Evan and Evan are falling in love—but falling out of it, too.

 

Chicago, Winter. Evan Arinos is desperate for a change—ever since he moved to Chicago from New Jersey, he's been bouncing from sublet to sublet, trying to rid himself of the demons that still plague his past. Enter Evan Zahner, a charming waitress struggling to find enough confidence to pursue her passion for art. They find comfort in each other, but soon find themselves with even more problems then they started with. She grapples with her inability to keep a job, harboring jealousy for her boyfriend's musical success in the underground scene, while he tries to pursue a record deal, oblivious to the fact that his girlfriend feels ignored. When he is finally offered representation, she encourages him to take the opportunity—no matter how many compromises it requires.

 

Los Angeles, Winter. They're still together, four years later—and he is preparing to release his first album when she announces she's pregnant with his child. The two get lost in a shotgun wedding and brief married bliss, until he has to depart for a cross-country tour. With everything threatening to fall apart, the two are forced to confront the fact that even "forever" has limits, and that some promises simply can't be kept.

 

A literary and though-provoking romance, PINKY SWEARS is unlike anything you've read before.
