In Episode 52, Gen and Jette team up with Wattpad Books to discuss two of their fall 2020 releases: Historically Inaccurate by Shay Bravo and The Bro Code by Elizabeth A. Seibert. Both are debut YA authors with large followings on Wattpad, an online community of writers and readers. Wattpad Books combines the best of art and science to find new voices in storytelling and elevate their stories.
Historically Inaccurate follows Soledad “Sol” Gutierrez as she navigates a new school, new apartment, and new family dynamic since her mother was deported. On top of that she’s trying to figure out her place in the history club. It initiates new members in a very strange way: she must steal a fork from the oldest house in Westray. And then things get a lot more complicated.
The Bro Code follows Nick Maguire as he navigates his senior year of high school. It seems like it should be easy, even with killer soccer practices and increasing pressure to win a college scholarship. But then he falls for his best friend’s sister, Eliza–in direct opposition to the Bro Code. What’s a bro to do?
We had a lot of fun talking about these two fall 2020 releases from Wattpad. Be sure to check them out!

Show Notes
Wattpad is based in Toronto. This sends us off on a tangent about Schitt’s Creek sweeping the Emmy’s. If you haven’t watched it yet, do it know. It’s excellent. We promise. You can find it on Netflix and CBC Gem. Oh, and the actor who plays Ted is Dustin Milligan.
Shay Bravo has connected with over 114, 000 followers on Wattpad and Historically Inaccurate won the 2019 Watty Awards.
Reminder: we will never be spoiler free.
It might be time to rewatch The Skulls (2000).
Yes, of course Gen noticed the Supernatural reference in Historically Inaccurate.
Elizabeth A. Seibert’s stories on Wattpad have amassed over 30 million reads. Our minds are blown.
It’s been a very long time since we we’ve been in high school.
It’s also been a very long time since we thought about Nick Carter.
If your high school had a pool, let us know!
