A Chasing Eveline Bookish Quiz
TGIF, right? Friday is all about survival. It’s sometimes also about eating fish. Mostly, though, it’s about fun! It’s like a pre-Saturday. Or a weekend kick-off. So, in the spirit of having some fun today, I’m sharing a fun quiz I created for my YA debut CHASING EVELINE. I spend hours taking those quizzes on Facebook that tell me what book I am or what historical era I should have been born in or what my real age is. Do you do that, too? Well, I love those quizzes so much, I created one for my book. In case you haven’t read CHASING EVELINE yet or don’t know about! Check it out HERE if you’d like!) Read on and find the quiz right after the book blurb!

Sixteen-year-old Ivy Higgins is the only student at Carmel Heights High School who listens to cassettes. And her binder is the only one decorated with album artwork by 80s band Chasing Eveline. Despite being broken-up since 1989, this rock band out of Ireland means everything to Ivy. They’re a reminder of her mom, who abandoned Ivy and her dad two years ago. Now the music of her mom’s favorite band is the only connection she has left.
Even though Ivy wavers between anger and a yearning to reconnect, she’s one-hundred percent certain she’s not ready to lose her mom forever. But the only surefire way to locate her would be at a Chasing Eveline concert. So with help from her lone friend Matt—an equally abandoned soul and indie music enthusiast—Ivy hatches a plan to reunite the band.
The road to Ireland won’t be easy, though. And not just because there is no road. Along the way they’ll have to win over their Lady Gaga-loving peers, tangle with some frisky meerkats, and oh yeah, somehow find and persuade the four members to play a reunion gig. It’s a near-impossible task, but Ivy has to try. If she can’t let go of the past, she’ll never be able to find joy in the present.
