Another Beautiful Cover! Another Book to Desire!"Lovely, evocative, painful and joyful all in one...much like high school!" Jenny Lawson- author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened and TheBloggess.com. The Obvious Game is a story that will touch the heart of each reader as they experience the painful reminders of high school and dealing with the hardest part of growing up--learning to accept yourself. Diane must face her biggest fears as she deals with her mother's illness and her first love.  “Everyone trusted me back then. Good old, dependable Diana. Which is why most people didn’t notice at first.” Praise for The Obvious Game: “I couldn’t put down The Obvious Game. Arens perfectly captures the hunger, pain and uncertainty of adolescence.” -- Ann Napolitano, author of A GOOD HARD LOOK and WITHIN ARM'S REACH "THE OBVIOUS GAME is a fearless, honest, and intense look into the psychology of anorexia. The characters—especially Diana--are so natural and emotionally authentic that you’ll find yourself yelling at the page even as you’re compelled to turn it." -- Coert Voorhees, author of LUCKY FOOLS and THE BROTHERS TORRES "Let’s be clear about one thing: there’s nothing obvious about The Obvious Game. Arens has written a moving, sometimes heart-breaking story about one girl’s attempt to control the uncontrollable. You can’t help but relate to Diana and her struggles as you delve into this gem of a novel." -- Risa Green, author of THE SECRET SOCIETY OF THE PINK CRYSTAL BALL Book Information: Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: Feb 7th, 2013 ISBN: 978-0-9856562-7-0 (ebook), 978-0-9856562-8-7 (Paperback) Paperback Price: $13.99 E-book: $4.99 To be available at all major online outlets: Amazon, B&N, The Book Depository Pre-order now at Inkspell Publishing Website at a special discount of 30% on both paperback and ebook!
