Mary Chyn posted on Twitter "My book got announced today :') so stoked to be working with @Brian_Geffen and @liconcarina at @HenryHolt on this, with @agent_anjali at my side the whole way. I can't wait to introduce y'all to Chris and Alicia, they're my two faves. Also big big shoutout to my friend Pablo (who wisely does not have Twitter lol) who read early drafts of this story & helped me with translation & more (now I know what "pelirrojo" means." Brian Geffen added "I am THRILLED to work with @mshyne and @agent_anjali on Mary's EPIC debut, GRADUATION DAY! Mary set out to craft a rom-com about teens today, one that pays homage to classic movies, but also corrects for all their cringeworthy racism, sexism and classism. And her art is STUNNING!" So there you go.
