October Novel Prep Challenge

Gilmore Girls is a guilty pleasure. The characterization often bothers me, because people really don't call Rory out on how awful she is enough, but it's a fun show.

This is nothing like the Gilmore Girls, though. Basically, a town gets trapped inside a ley line because of an experiment gone awry, and the novel begins with my main character, Henrietta (but anyone who calls her anything but Hedy is lying to themselves), pulling a Narnia and falling in (it's all to do with frequencies and the way electro-magnetic waves bounce off of one another, but this is a fantasy, so it gets swept under the rug of magic) when she's young. A couple years later, she falls out again, and she devotes her life to rescuing this town. The romance aspect is basically that Hedy, kinda without realizing it, falls in love with the guy who took her under his wing while she was trapped. As a kid, she idolized him in the way little kids idolize much older siblings (he's just about 18 years older), but by fixating on him as the symbol of Leyton as she works to rescue it, she kinda falls in love with her memory of him. And she's not really the kind of person to let a little thing like aging get in the way of that. The small town aspect is from Joel's perspective, which deals with the way people react to the idea of being rescued or even wanting to be rescued, because you know how people in small towns can get about change and outsiders and whatnot.
