Pink Carnation: the Facebook Feed Version

Courtesy of the incredibly clever Cho (who was inspired by Austenbook), we have The Secret History of the Pink Carnation— told via Facebook feed.

Warnings: For those who haven’t read the book yet, major spoilers below! For those who have read the book, be aware: you will make loud chortling noises.

You can see Cho’s aesthetically pleasing version with the faces and hearts and colors and Facebook headers by clicking on the pictures below (two clicks blows it up to a much larger size). In case that doesn’t work, I’ve copied the text below. You can find the pretty version posted on my Facebook author page as well. Nicely meta, Facebook on Facebook, no?
