Perfect Chemistry

Here’s a book trailer that’ll make you giggle: Simone Elkeles hired some fine, fine actors to do a rap video book trailer for her book Perfect Chemistry. An opposites-attract novel about a rich girl and a boy from the barrio who end up as chemistry lab partners, the book trailer is both irritatingly catchy and very, very well done.
Elkeles says, “It’s actually a parody of my book, which is what makes it funny and hopefully viral,” and there’s a cut and uncut (?!!) version to choose from.

I liked! The uncut version *really* made me giggle.
Is this a YA book?

*lol* That was hilarious. I wouldn’t mind reading the book either. Book trailers are definitely going to be a wave of the future in viral marketing.

I caught this one! This isn’t my type of music, but I gotta admire Simone. She is a true lady with plenty of chutzpah. Some years back we were in the same RWA chapter and I can boast that we heard her work read in crit sessions before it sold.
All success to her. She works hard & deserves the recognition she’s getting.

Awesomeness. My favorite part has to be the look on the blonde’s face every time she says, “It’s a book.” Wide-eyed and somewhat stunned. Hee!

That means, Splendid job, Simone! The very first book trailer I’ve ever seen that was not only entertaining to watch, but also made me want to read the book.
