ORDER THIS TITLE
Not everyone is who they claim to be in this extremely clever and hilarious modern high-school adaptation (with a female lead!) of the classic Oscar Wilde dual-life comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest.
Jean Worthing isn’t fully satisfied with East High School and becomes a “bi-schoolerist,” creating the fictitious persona Verity so she can attend East High for academics and West High for extracurricular activities. Through her club involvement at West High, she develops a nice friendship with Alicia, as well as a crush on Alicia’s brother, Finnegan.
But the fictional “Verity” slips up, and Alicia finds out about the fib. She is at first outraged, then intrigued as she learns that Verity — that is, Jean — has a handsome brother Grayson who also attends East High and who just so happens to be dateless for the upcoming prom. So what’s stopping Alicia from using the fictional identity of Verity to her own advantage?
When the two Veritys end up at prom together at the same time, it takes the humor, wit, and wisdom of Oscar Wilde to save the day!
