My editing and publishing teacher asked us to bring in examples of good and bad flap copy (aka, the back copy of a book that entices you to read it).

For an example of good flap copy, I quoted Jennifer Crusie's flap copy for Faking It.

My teacher wasn't impressed because it mentioned a secret in the protagonists past. Yet three students asked me for the title and author name after I finished.
