ⓘ About Lauren Layne
When Stephanie Kendrick sacrificed her entire summer in order to pass a screenwriting course, she was pissed off to be paired with a spoiled frat boy for their writing assignment. Then again, Ethan is not likely to fall for a girl with Goth clothing, black-rimmed eyes and piercings. Stephanie might also not be Ethan’s type, and he’s probably pinning for a leggy blonde to drape around his arm. The summer scene in Hampton starts off with Ethan trying to impress upon his mother that he is so over that pampered girl who turned out to be a heartbreaker. Thinking of using Stephanie as a pretense, Ethan decides that a makeover and wardrobe change is all she needs. He also tempts her with free rent in a luxurious house.
