#Hipster

by A.M.H. Johnson

His green eyes settled on me as he added the final blow, “Of the two of us here, one is a writing student and the other is a published short-story author. So, maybe you could learn a thing or two from me, like, I don’t know, not getting caught up in looking the part of the writer to forget to actually write … or humility. Take your pick.”



Rebel Young is the epitome of the millenial artist. A writing student at VCU who focuses on being ahead of the newest trend, as well as good access to the nearest Starbucks.

Mike Davis is the opposite of Rebel. He doesn't care about trends, and his style exemplifies that. He's "Vanilla," in Rebel's words. And worse, he's Rebel's archrival of their writing classes.

So, when Professor Harris pairs them together for the class group project, writing a novel for NaNoWriMo, their philosophies on art, as well as their rivalry will come into question. Sparks fly in this romantic comedy. Maybe opposites really do attract.

Everybody wants to be a Rebel right? Well that literally her name, Rebel Young. She sees herself as an artist. She does not concede to ‘normality’ and is really outspoken to those that are. But when Rebel’s creative writing class has a project, to write a novel, she is paired up with the ‘normie’ that she’s already had a run in with...things are about to get interesting.

Nothing like a project to get to know someone eh?

Rebel’s life starts to change in ways that she never thought would happen, she actually enjoyed Mike’s company, her boyfriend Hudson was arguing with her over every little thing, and Aimee, her BFF was being extremely weird!

Awesome quick read!

I really enjoyed this novella, Johnson, really captured how people are mis-interpreted through the eyes of someone who thinks they know it all, Rebel. The characters, Hudson and Mike, could not be more different but they were well written and I think Rebel realised that in order to know someone you really have to ask questions, not to assume you know someone because of what they look like.
